City/town information
In the summer months, there's nothing better than sitting on the soft golden sand of Tenby Harbour Beach. Snuggled within the safety of the harbour walls and just a short walk from the main multi-storey car park in Tenby, this beach is ideal for young families.
Set in the middle of Tenby's coastline, there's no shortage of restaurants, cafes and pubs nearby to refuel at after a long day of sandcastle building. Or if you fancy a snack while sitting back on the beach, pop to the Tenby Harbour Snack Bar where the bacon sandwiches are particularly popular!
During the colder months, the beach is opened up for dog walkers - and with the pastel coloured buildings as your backdrop and the sea ahead, this picturesque spot is the perfect place for those crisp winter walks.
