The water is not only lovely for bathing and swimming but it’s also home to a wide variety of visiting dolphins and their calves.

As well as common and the bottlenose dolphin, sightings might include, if you’re very lucky, minke whale, sei whale, fin whale, dolphin, orca, Risso’s dolphin and basking shark. A blue whale has been reported and even a great white!

How to see them

Porpoises can be sighted from the shore between Poppit and Strumble. Dolphins can be seen between Poppit and Fishguard. They sometimes come into Fishguard Harbour and Newport Bay, all within easy reach of Ritec Valley Holiday.
