A picturesque cove and fishing village, with a sand and shingle beach. The beach faces North west so is sheltered from south westerly gales. Its primary use is as a harbour for local fishermen. There is a slipway for boats, and Abercastle is particularly popular with divers. Swimming, kayaking and angling are also popular here, but the cove is too small for 'forces-of-nature' sports.
Abercastle is reached from the A487 via Trefin or Mathry. There is very limited parking above the beach.

Abercastle history
Abercastle is famous for being the landing place of the first solo crossing
of the atlantic towards the end of the nineteenth centrary. He did it in an
open boat and capsized twice on the way across - a true force of nature lad
