New Quay was a fishing port and like many areas along the coast it saw
its fair share of smuggling. Shipbuilding became important during the
mid nineteenth century and tourism is now the main source of income for
this community. There is some fishing and a shellfish processing plant
and boat trips along the coast can be taken from the harbour.
This is a
picturesque village with a good variety of pubs and restaurants to
cater for all tastes. With its narrow side streets and fabulous cliff
top views of Cardigan Bay its easy to see why this is a popular tourist
destination. Dylan Thomas lived in New Quay in 1944 and the Dylan
Thomas Trail takes visitors to many of the places that are believed to
be mentioned in 'Under the Milk Wood'.
A number of safe,
clean and sandy beaches make this an ideal family resort. There is no
shortage of good accommodation and visitors might be lucky enough to
see seals or dolphins. The coastline is also home to a wide variety of
bird life.
