There’s acres of beach at low tide but still plenty of room at high tide. The sea shelves very gently and is free of obstructions. Dog restrictions apply to the beach below the cliffs, east of the beach car park/cafe 1st May & 30th September.
Awards: Blue Flag Award. Seaside Award.
Parking: There is a very small car park next to South Beach but it fills up very very quickly in summer. A privately run car park off The Esplanade has more space but if you arrive after 11am during the school summer holidays, head straight for the park and ride and use the free shuttle bus. Alternatively, park at Penally station and walk across the golf course.
Beach facilities: Deck chairs, ice cream van and donkey rides.
On shore facilities: Cafe and toilets on the beach. Tourist information centre, numerous cafes, pubs and restaurants, many interesting shops and a good choice of hotels, caravan parks, B&B’s and self catering in Tenby.
