Newport Parrog is a small sand, shingle and mud beach that lies to the South of the River Nevern which splits this idyllic town in two.
Whilst Newport Sands to the north is a large, sandy expanse of beach, Newport Parrot is a small cove that is submerged at high tide. It is from here that the many boats that are moored in and around the harbour can be seen.

The Coast Path takes a delightful, weaving journey through Newport and takes in a number of sites – including both of Newport’s beaches
The Parrog beach is closer to the town and therefore closer to the local amenities. There is a car park a stone’s throw from the beach, with shops and plenty of places to eat and drink a short, uphill walk away.
Accessibility is good, as there is a path and slipway down to the beach. However, given the nature of the beach, it would not be advised for those in wheelchairs. There are, however, plenty of vantages points from which to enjoy the beach.
There are toilets by the car park. They have both disabled and baby changing facilities. They are open from 8am to 7pm daily.
Dogs are allowed.
