Penbryn is a tiny village with a long, sandy beach on the coast of Cardiganshire, some ten miles up the coast from Cardigan. It sits between the villages of Tresaith and Llangrannog and consists mostly of farms and caravan sites.
Penbryn Beach is owned by the National Trust.
Near the village is the Corbalengi Stone, a monument of the Early Christian period inscribed: "CORBALENGI IACIT ORDOVS".
