3. Tenby Beach

While all of these beaches are worth exploring, it’s Harbour Beach, at the rear of the harbour, which offers the best protection from the wind and must be considered one of the most child-friendly beach destinations in Pembrokeshire. Recently named the finest beach in Europe, Harbour won out over competitors from Portugal, Croatia and Italy. Considered the jewel in the crown of Pembrokeshire’s tourism portfolio, it’s postcard-perfect, if a little crowded during peak season.

Add to that the fact that it’s popular with surfers and other watersports enthusiasts thanks to the Atlantic swell, plus some stunning cliff-top walks, and it becomes a complete package.
