Dolphin Spotting Did you know that the Ceredigion Coast is one of only 2 offshore areas in the UK that bottlenose dolphins call home? True story! They love to hang about close to the coastline, so spotting a bottlenose is a very real possibility. If you’re willing to put the time in, dolphin spotting in their own natural habitat can be a truly magical experience, and you can do it right here. Have you read our blog post on dolphin spotting?
