Penbryn is a large sandy beach backed by a dune system and cliffs. The beach is operated by the National Trust and running across it is a small stream known as the Nant Hoffnant. Penbryn is a very rural beach with only a small amount of parking. The majority of the parking is a few hundred metres back up the valley at Penbryn village. The beach is popular with surfers, canoeists and kayakers. There are many caravan parks in the area, offering a wide range of facilities and the beach is popular as a stop-off point for walkers using the Ceredigion coastal path. Natural Resources Wales's designated sample point is located to the centre of the beach.
Water quality is classified as "Excellent" based on samples taken from the previous 4 years, 2021 through to 2024.
