There are wild, rugged and adventurous times to be had with holidays in Wales. There's the traditional, independent and cultural Wales. And there's also dolphin-spotting, turquoise sea and bucket and spade Wales. Welcome to family holidays in Wales.

Direct Beach access

Direct access to Tenby's South beach, where you can explore the caves, play in the sand or laze in the sun, there is hours of fun for everyone. The beach is easily reached, being just a short walk from the Park through Tenby Golf Course. The beach is patrolled by a Lifeguard (10am-6pm) during the summer season and boat trips to Caldey Island run from the beach at low tide.

The South beach's 2 kilometres of golden sand spans the shoreline from St. Catherine's Island to Giltar Point. The beach is backed by sand dunes and looks out toward Caldey Island. The South Beach has won a Tidy Britain Group Seaside Award.

Tenby North is a golden stretch of sandy beach, dotted with occasional rock pools and the prominent Goskar Rock itself. Situated between the harbour beach and the north cliffs, North beach is overlooked by a promenade and Tenby town itself. The beach offers great views over Carmathern Bay and is accessed by the north cliff steps or through the harbour.

The beach holds an EC Blue Flag award and the water quality is excellent, complying with EC guideline standards. A dog ban is in effect on the beach from May to September.
