The Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre on Glanmor Terrace is the free land-side briefing (typically April–November) with recent bay sightings. The sheltered town beach and rock pools by the pier suit families; Llanina Cove is a quieter 10-minute walk north.

Dylan Thomas lived here in 1944–45 — local lore links the town to *Under Milk Wood*; the old Sea View (now The Seahorse) is often cited. This is a harbour village day, not a castle quarter or university promenade.
