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 from1st March. Dogs are banned between 1st
May and 30th 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.
