Sightseeing
A small bay backed by dunes and pine trees, accessible only by a half mile walk from the nearest car park. Swathes of golden sand and crystal clear waters, Barafundle has been voted many, many times as one of the best beaches in Britain and the world; it’s often likened to a Caribbean beach! This pristine beach is isolated which means no facilities; so everything you take has to come back up over the cliffs.

Barafundle Bay Beach
Pembrokeshire Coast PathA small bay backed by dunes and pine trees, accessible only by a half mile walk from the nearest car park.

This sand and rocky beach is the hunting ground of the surfer always on the lookout for that perfect wave; a surfers paradise.
This south-westerly facing beach has the best waves in the county BUT it’s only for the experienced and strong swimming surfer. Strong rip currents occur off this beach. It’s the best place to go to watch surfing.
The beach is wide, sandy, and backed by an extensive system of dunes. The dunes are fragile so no camping or barbeques are allowed. There’s a rocky reef at the southern end and some quiet bays at the other.
The beach to the south is Frainslake sands but it’s inside the Castlemartin ranges so is out of bounds. The thatched shack on the foreshore is a rebuilt shelter that was used for drying a certain type of seaweed, used for making Lavabread, a Welsh specialty that’s very good for adding flavour to recipes.

A mile and a half long, dune-backed, beach playground.
There’s plenty of space at the Tenby end for families or continue eastwards for more boisterous beach activities perfect if your spending 48 Hours in Tenby
There are acres of beach at low tide but still plenty of room at high tide. The sea shelves very gently and is free of obstructions.
Dog restrictions apply to the beach below the cliffs, east of the beach car park/cafe between 1st May to 30th September.

Pebbles and extraordinarily dark sand made of pounded grey slate form this rural beach.
The same slate gives a brilliant deep blue colour to the water in the ‘Blue Lagoon’; a beautiful little harbour – a breached quarry – just to the north of the beach which is accessible for wheelchair and scooter users.
Be aware Abereiddy beach has strong currents. This is a popular spot for coasteering, climbing along the cliffs at sea level, leaping into the sea if you reach an impassable bit.
