£25 £24 £14 Tenby or Saundersfoot Seaside
Tenby is probably the most iconic seaside town in Wales, rivalling places like Mevagissey and Polperro for quaintness and charm. This pretty seaside town has three great beaches; north, south and castle, each with its own character and all facing in different directions so at least one should be sheltered if it happens to be windy! OR Saundersfoot is a small seaside resort in between Tenby and Amroth. It is much more compact than Tenby with a charm and character of its own that is well worth exploring, particularly for those a little less energetic. The main attraction, though, is it’s long, wide and sandy beach.
