The bay is nestled between towering cliffs and rolling hills, providing a dramatic backdrop to its pristine sandy beach.

The bay is known for its crystal-clear waters and is a popular spot for various water activities such as swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. The beach is also perfect for sunbathing and picnicking, with ample space for families and friends to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Aberdinas is home to a rich array of wildlife, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts. Birdwatchers can spot a variety of seabirds, including gulls, cormorants, and even the occasional puffin. The bay is also frequented by seals and dolphins, adding to its charm and appeal.

Abereiddy Tower Situated on the Trwyncastell headland to the north of Abereiddi Bay. This tower, of uncertain usage (local information board suggests possibility of it being a meeting place for directors of the now defunct Abereiddy Slate Mine, or their ladies), lies just off the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and gets comparatively few visitors. This is possibly because a "scramble" is required to access the headland, as coastal erosion is steadily severing the headland's link with the main peninsula.

Stonechat The European Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola) breed in heathland, coastal dunes and rough grassland with scattered small shrubs and bramble, open gorse, tussocks or heather. The male's song is high and twittering like a Dunnock. Both sexes have a clicking call like stones knocking together.

Caer Aber Pwll (Caerau) Iron Age Fort The complex defences at Caer Aber Pwll (Caerau) define a simple promontory fort to the east and a more heavily defended promontory fort on the west, both utilising the defensive potentials of the steep coastal cliffs. The western fort contains at least one building platform and is enclosed by a complex of up to four banks and ditches thought to represent at least two periods of construction, of uncertain relation, extending over a roughly 172m front. The main, inturned, gateway can be made out on the far side of the earthworks. A second enclosure on the east, about 48m by 34m, may be a fragment of an early enclosure, isolated by redevelopment, an annex, or a separate and later enclosure butting onto the primary work.
