A wide sandy bay backed by dunes that lead from The National Trust owned Bosherston Lily ponds. This beach has masses of soft sand at low tide ensuring enough space for everyone. Access from the car park above the beach at its southern end is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs due to the number of steep steps down the cliff. Access is much better from the northern end through the lily ponds with board walks onto the sand. Please be aware that the sea of Broad Haven South has strong currents. Explore the boulders and ‘island’ on the west side to discover caves and springs gushing out of the cliffs. The convoluted low cliffs on the east side have a few small caves at low tide. The clean stream emptying out of the lily ponds runs along this side and is perfect for small children to play in. There’s also a good rock for jumping off at high tide.
Awards: Seaside Award. Green Coast
Parking: There’s ample parking above the beach in the National Trust car park or in Bosherston village by the church for those with wheelchairs or push chairs. It’s a 1 mile walk to the beach from here but it does take you through the picturesque lily ponds. Well worth it!
Beach facilities: Toilets at car park above beach. Ice cream van.
On shore facilities: Café, pub and shop can be found in Bosherston village.
