Description

The Southwest Pier to Harbour Basin is a Grade II listed structure made of coursed rubble. It runs southeast from a beacon and continues beyond the corner with the Quay into a lower round-ended jetty. There is a lower rubble protective wall at the top of the concrete pier, along with two flights of steps leading down to the water level.

Additionally, the coursed rubble quay extends southwest from the corner with the pier, situated in front of the Aberaeron Yacht Club, and angles northwest towards the slipway.
