Coasteering in One of Pembrokeshire’s Most Spectacular Coastal Locations
Stackpole Quay is one of the most scenic adventure locations in South Pembrokeshire. The area is known for dramatic limestone coastline, clear water, rocky gullies, sea caves, coastal paths and access towards the beautiful Barafundle Bay area.
The wider Stackpole Estate is managed by the National Trust and includes around 3,000 acres of beaches, lakes, woodland, cliffs, wildlife habitat and historic landscape. This makes Stackpole a brilliant location for visitors who want a full coastal day out, not just a single activity.
Coasteering here is about more than jumping. It is about exploring the coastline properly, moving safely through the natural environment, swimming through gullies, scrambling over rocks and experiencing the Pembrokeshire coast from the water.
