A breathtaking beach and a firm favourite. Great for a long-ish beach walk and dunes at the far end to explore.
If you are planning to swim the rip current here is very strong as it’s a surfing beach. Make sure to follow the flags and only swim if confident.

A boat trip to the island can be a very special day out for families and visitors. The island has a beautiful sheltered sandy beach that faces back to Tenby, a little shop, tearooms and the famous working monastery where the mons make their famous chocolate :) Boats run regularly through the summer and tickets can be purchased at the harbour. To note the boats do not land on the island on Sunday's but do go around the island on an extended trip.

Costal bus routes
Check out the local coastal busses - they can be a great way to get in a longer walk by hopping up the coast to walk back on yourself. Timetables can be found online - Fflecsi bus is the new system for booking the costal buses- the app is awful but bear with it as the service is great (Almost like a bus/taxi), do note certain routes can be very busy in the summer months/weekends so book ahead
Siðir og menning
Do not feed the seagulls!!!
The birds are particularly bonkers in the summer. Try not to walk around with open food as they will swoop down to try and steal it… sandwiches, pasties and chips are easy pickings.
