I have always lived in Solva and know Pembrokeshire well. I would be very happy to answer any queries or offer suggestions to enhance your holiday.

Beaches

Pembrokeshire is a fantastic choice for a beach holiday, and some of its best ones are within a few miles of St Davids and Solva.

Whitesands

On the North Pembrokeshire coast, near St Davids, is a beach that has been recognized as on of the top 10 worldwide by the Good Beach Guide. As well as all the facilities you’d expect from a Blue Flag award beach, Whitesands has excellent surf, a wide sandy beach and stunning views across to Ramsey Island. Take a walk up the rocky outcrop Carn Llidi behind the beach for a panoramic vista of St David’s Head. The car park has a charge from1^st March. Dogs are banned between 1^st May and 30^th Sept.

Caerfai

A very pretty beach with a cliff top (free) car park that looks out across St Brides Bay. The sheltering cliffs are a warm pink-purple, and some of the stone used in the construction of the Catherdral was quarried from here. Popular with swimmers due to the (relatively!) warm water and lack of strong currents, Caerfai has won a Green coast award.

Solva and Gwadn

Solva’s shoreline is incredibly varied, and can be all things to all people. At high tide, walk up over The Gribbyn to the pebble lined beach at Gwadn, and even in the height of summer you’ll probably have the beach to yourself. There is a contrast on the other side, on the bustling quay. You can see children having crab races or jumping off the quay wall, and fishermen landing their catch. The calm, protected waters of the harbour are ideal for swimming and watersports, so there may be sailing or canoeing lessons to watch. And of course, there are always people simply messing around in boats. Or eating ice creams. At low tide, an expanse of sand is revealed. You can walk along the harbour fringe to Gwadn and see Black Rock guarding the mouth of the harbour. Free parking in the Harbour car park.

Newgale

The road into Newgale is a real treat, with really impressive sights from either direction. There is usually someone in the lay by with a camera in hand. It’s a lovely beach in the summer at low tide, with a wide expanse of sand nearly 2 miles long, and edged with a pebble bank. On a stormy winters day, it is at it’s most dramatic, with pounding waves. An internationally renowned surfing beach, you can see surfers in the water at all times of year. Also popular with windsurfers, power kites and horse riders. Blue Flag award beach.

Abereiddi

A lovely beach for watching the sun set, sited on Pembrokeshire’s north coast looking west. The sand at Abereiddi is an unusual blue-black colour, formed from slate, and there are wonderful rock pools to explore. Next to the beach is a disused, flooded slate quarry, known as the Blue Lagoon. Here, brave cliff jumpers have a good variety of diving platforms into the deep water. Abereiddi has a Green coast award . The free car park here is also a good place to start the short walk along the coast to the interesting village of Porthgain.

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, one of Britain's breathing spaces, takes in about a third of the county including the entire coastal strip, the upper reaches of the Daugleddau (two swords) and the Preseli's. It’s the only National Park that is almost all coastal. The National Park run an extensive programme of activities and events for both adults and children: rockpool safaris, crab catching, bat walks and even time travel! They're all listed in the Coast to Coast newspaper: pick one up when you get here.

The National Trust owns and protects many of the most important sections of the coast especially around Barafundle beach, Marloes, St Davids, Porthgain & Dinas. The trust also runs the superb Colby Woodland Gardens at Amroth and the Tudor Merchants house near the harbour in Tenby.

• Britain’s Only Coastal National Park, The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is the only one of Britain’s 14 National Parks to be entirely coastal in nature.
• It covers a third of Pembrokeshire including the Preseli Mountains and the upper reaches of the Daugleddau Estuary.
• Tenby, St Davids, Saundersfoot, Newport and Manorbier are all in the National Park
• So are Skomer, Skokholm, Caldey and Ramsey Islands
• Two inland areas are also in the National Park, The Preseli Mountains and the upper reaches of the Daugleddau Estuary
• The Preseli Mountains are where the Stonehenge bluestones are supposed to have come from.
• The Daugleddau Estuary is known, locally, as the secret waterway.
