New Quay is a small coastal parish in Ceredigion, Wales, tucked into the sheltered waters of Cardigan Bay. The village sits around a compact harbour with sandy and rocky shores, and the dramatic coastal scenery is cut by cliffs and coves with the Ceredigion Coast Path running nearby, making it popular with walkers and wildlife watchers.
Historically a busy little port tied to coastal trade and fishing, New Quay later grew as a Victorian seaside resort and today’s economy leans heavily on tourism, boat trips (notably for bottlenose dolphin watching), and small-scale local services. The place has literary and cultural associations - Dylan Thomas is among the writers linked with the area - and the community balances a lively summer season, local amenities and the long-running issue of second homes affecting housing and village life.
