Aber Degan is a small bay located in the county of Pembrokeshire, Wales. Situated on the southwestern coast of the country, it is known for its stunning natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The bay is bordered by rocky cliffs on either side, providing a picturesque backdrop to the sandy beach.

The beach at Aber Degan is relatively secluded and offers a peaceful retreat for visitors. It is accessible via a narrow path that winds down from the nearby coastal road. The beach itself stretches for approximately 200 meters and is largely untouched by commercial development, allowing visitors to enjoy the unspoiled surroundings.

The bay is also popular among wildlife enthusiasts, as it is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Birdwatchers can spot various seabirds, such as gulls and cormorants, nesting on the cliffs. Marine life, including seals and dolphins, can sometimes be spotted swimming in the waters off the bay.

Aber Degan is a popular spot for coastal walks and hiking, with several scenic trails leading from the bay to nearby cliffs and headlands. These paths offer breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline and are a great way to explore the area.

On a day of strong wind, showers were moving fast across the sea; for 10 minutes clouds had blotted out the sun but already they were moving off inland and the sun emerging from behind them.

Strumble Light Strumble (not Strumble Head), as the name of the headland, is Old English, and is probably "storm-bill". The map also gets the Welsh name wrong. Pen-caer is the name of the district. The headland is called Trwyn-câr = "nose (or ness) of Pencaer".
