Beautiful beaches

Whether you’re looking for the perfect beach for small children, or somewhere for adventure, one of Tenby’s fantastic beaches will fit the bill. In addition to the lovely Harbour Beach, three further sandy delights are Castle Beach, North Beach or South Beach - take your pick!

Castle Beach A Sunday Times Beach of the Year, Castle Beach is the small but perfectly formed. Use the easy access slipway to get down to this Blue Flag beach, feel the soft sand beneath your toes and cool off with a paddle at the shallow shore.

North Beach For those who prefer their beaches wide and with fantastic views out to the open sea, North Beach is well worth a visit. There are stunning views from the cliff tops, and if you want to get out in the water, other activities at this beach include body boarding, canoeing, sailing and waterskiing.

South Beach A gently sloping expanse of sand that stretches to Penally in the east and as the tide retreats it is possible to walk to Castle beach in the west. An excellent view out to Caldey and St. Margarets Islands can be had from here.

Pembrokeshire Coast Path

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail twists and turns its way for 186 miles (299 km) along the most breathtaking coastline in Wales. It covers almost every kind of landscape, from rugged cliff tops and sheltered coves to wide-open

beaches and winding estuaries. Lying almost entirely within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park - the UK’s only truly coastal National Park – the trail displays an array of coastal flowers and bird life, as well as evidence of human activity from Neolithic times to the present.

In its entirety the Coast Path represents a formidable physical challenge - its 35,000 feet of ascent and descent is said to be equivalent to climbing Everest. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is one of three national trails in Wales; The Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Offa’s Dyke and Glyndwr’s Way.

Caldey Island

Just 20 minutes away by boat, this holy island of is an oasis of calm where you can watch seabirds or relax on a tiny beach. Owned and run by a community of Cistercian monks, it’s open to the public on summer weekdays and Saturdays. Regular boat trips set off from Tenby Harbour, landing on Priory Beach, a beautiful place for a dip in the sea and the starting point for exploring the island.

Go fishing

Tenby’s Welsh name, Dinbych-y-Pysgod (Little Fortress of the Fish), will make perfect sense when you explore the dainty harbour beside Castle Hill. To head out to sea from Tenby Harbour on a mackerel fishing trip, just chat to one of the boat operators.
