Broad Haven Beach
Broad Haven Beach
A long, narrow sandy and pebble beach at high tide but at low tide a huge expanse of firm sand is revealed with plenty of room for everyone – and it can get busy during the summer months due to its safe bathing.
The cliffs on both sides provide some sheltered bays. It is possible to walk around the headland on the south side at low tide into another bay called The Settlands. Walk round the next headland to Little Haven. Keep an eye on the tide if you do!
Dog restrictions apply to the northern third of the beach between 1st May and the 30th September. Check out a map of the beach to help with which section of beach it applies to.
If you’re planning to visit, check out the tide times to make sure you’ve plenty of beach to play on and that you don’t get cut off by the incoming tide!
