Beaches & Surfing
Popular with surfers and walkers for many years, Freshwater West has in more recent years be famous for its part in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2 where it was used as the back drop for Dobby’s Shell Cottage, which was built on site down to the smallest detail including the seaweed. Although the cottage was taken down after filming you can still walk in the footsteps of Harry, Hermione and Ron.

Local towns to explore
No trip to Pembrokeshire is complete without a visit to Tenby.
Tenby is a town steeped in ancient history surrounded by an imposing medieval stone wall. Through the passages of time Tenby has seen many changes but it has been on the leisure map for over 200 years.
Named Best Beach in Europe 2014, Harbour beach is home to the iconic St Julian’s chapel, Harbour Cafe and Tenby Sailing Club, which welcomes members and non-members alike. The beach is a must for those of us who haven’t truly arrived at the seaside until we’ve heard that evocative clinking of boat rigging in the breeze and the gentle splash of waves against a hull.
Award winning Castle beach sits at the foot of Castle Hill and St. Catherine’s island which is known for its impressive fort, a former private residence and zoo. Access is weather and tide dependent, but offers impressive views of town, sea and coast.
Licensed fishing boats operate from kiosks in Castle Square, where you can book your place, borrow a rod and lifejacket and hopefully catch your own dinner! Delicious mackerel, flat fish and sea bass are all plentiful in our waters.
Also find here the booking office for the boats to Caldey which run regular trips to our neighbouring holy island from Spring to late Summer.
For something a bit more high-octane, on North beach Tenby Water Sports offers the jet ski safari, donut rides, water-skiing and plenty more to get your blood pumping!
Fabulous South beach is nearly two miles of golden sand that stretches out towards Penally and Giltar, backed by sand dunes more than 10 feet high that offer welcome shelter on a breezy day. The views over to Caldey from here are unrivalled, and with an ice cream in one hand and a good book in the other, you can watch the wind surfers and water sports enthusiasts and find your own slice of paradise on this most perfect of beaches.
