Cardigan Bay Bottlenose Dolphin Photography – New Quay

Outside, 25 km from Arfordir Penfroby SeaMor Dolphin Watching Boats / Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre

New Quay hosts one of the UK's two resident bottlenose dolphin populations (~250 individuals). SeaMor runs small RIB and larger boat dolphin watching tours from New Quay harbour — dolphins follow RIBs at speed and bow-ride. Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre (free entry) in New Quay has live sighting data and identifies individual dolphins. Puffins visible offshore May–July. Grey seals present. Also excellent land-based dolphin photography from the cliff walk above the harbour. Season April–October.
