Sea Fishing in Wales

The TOP-FIVE sites for sea fishing in Wales;

1. Tourists flock to the beaches at New Quay in Summer, but that doesn’t mean fewer opportunities to go sea fishing. Here you get the chance to catch bass, silver eels and even a range of ray species.

Where to stay
Ynyshir Restaurant with Rooms is one drive hour from New Quay - Queen Victoria appreciated her privacy and places to escape. Her majesty acquired the property as a retreat from hectic court life. You to can get away from it all and enjoy Michelin Star standard fare and modern accommodation. 

2. If you prefer a sandy beach that offers flatfish fishing, Monknash Beach is the place to go. Try to catch turbot and flounder as well as Dover sole. There is a range of different species waiting to be caught, from dogfish to cod to mackerel.

Where to Stay
Monknash Beach is under one drive from Cardiff. Hotel Indigo Cardiff is a modern and chic property. Marco Pierre White steakhouse bar and grill is a cool place to hang out and drink or eat or both.

3. A sandy beach with rocky areas, Mewslade Bay, is filled with mackerel in the Summer. Why not try and catch a range of bass, dogfish and even various ray species.

Where to Stay
Mewslade is within the famous Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are many cute holiday cottages, but they get rented early. Please bear that in mind. Why not try a Unique Place to Stay.

4. St. Brides Bay is a rocky bay that produces a range of species with an abundance of pollock and bass in the summertime. Apart from those, feel free to challenge yourself to catch a large conger eel or even a ray.

Where to Stay
St Brides Spa Hotel is the premium place to stay on the western coast of Pembrokeshire National Park, Britain’s only coastal National Park. Enjoy high-end local food, luxury spa and delightful restaurant overlooking the harbour.

Alternatively, stay at Slebech Park Estate, a grand Georgian Manor House with a long, fascinating history.  The estate has plenty to intrigue with old kitchen gardens and ruined church. The enchanting RHS gardens of ancient Picton Castle are a ten-minute drive away.

5. If you want to give sea fishing a try, there is a range of species to be caught in the St. David's Head area, from bull huss to pollock, bass and even wrasse. If you're lucky, you might be able to catch a large conger eel or some coalfish.

Where to Stay
St. David’s Head is within the Pembroke National Park, and therefore our recommendations above qualify as ideally located. Why not stay at a Luxury Guesthouse or B&B? There are plenty of beautiful properties to consider.
