Tenby has been voted as one of the prettiest seaside towns in Europe. And in 2014 Tenby’s harbour beach was ranked the most beautiful beach in Europe. It’s name in Welsh means little town of the fishes. So unsurprisingly, it has a fisherman’s church right in the harbour by North beach.

Tenby has three fabulous beaches: north beach; south beach; and castle beach. All three have wide stretches of golden sands.

North beach has the added attractions of a picturesque harbour, and Gosker Rock, a huge rock outcrop. Because of the harbour it is a lot more protected from wind than the other two beaches.  From the harbour you can board one of the cruises to nearby Caldey Island, or take a trip in search of the plentiful wildlife of this South West coast of Wales.

South beach stretches for miles towards Giltar Point and is backed by sand dunes and a golf course. Walk along Tenby’s South Beach toward Giltar Point and the start of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path for fantastic views of Caldey Island and look back to see the colourful houses of Tenby from a different perspective

Castle beach sits between the north and south beaches and is a narrow beach that lies between St Catherine’s Island and Tenby castle. It’s a great beach just to chill out or to explore this beautiful location, The excellent water quality makes castle beach popular for swimming and paddling, and a bit of surfing takes place on stormy days too.

Tenby can be a serene, attractive destination sure to charm you, and those in search of spending time by the beach are spoilt for choice here, but Tenby can also offer plenty to do for the more active holidaymakers with yachting, sea kayaking, paddle boarding, windsurfing, surfing and for the more extreme sporting enthusiasts coasteering (jumping off the cliffs into the clear blue seas!). Let’s have a look at how we can get you into one of those sports in Tenby.
