Sun, sea and sand. What more could you want?
There’s a reason that a summer spent at the seaside has become an indelible part of British life. It’s quite simply the ultimate way to get the best out of your summer. From lounging on golden sandy beaches with your favourite book to trying your hand at paddleboarding for the first time, we defy you to find a better way to while away the days than by spending your summer holidays in Pembrokeshire.
As you might expect, summer is one of our favourite times of the year. When the skies are blue, the weather is hot and the sun is shining - there’s nowhere better to be than in Pembrokeshire.
In the mood for a beach holiday? Take your pick of the many glorious sandy bays with glassy clear waters, there’s one to suit your every mood. Looking for adrenaline and activities? Try Saundersfoot or Whitesands where there are activity centres within walking distance. You’ll be hiring kayaks one day, attempting coasteering the next and perfecting the art of surfing before you know it.

Prefer somewhere private for a spot of sunbathing and swimming? Head to Traeth Llyfn or Swanlake, both accessible only via the Coastal Path. Take along a picnic and plenty of suncream as you’ll have peace and quiet all day long - just make sure not to fall asleep under the sun!
Need somewhere dog friendly? Try Newport Sands, Freshwater East or Marloes Sands where you and your furry pals will have the run of the entire beach with plenty of space for games of catch, digging holes and doggy paddling.
Families have been heading west for summers by the sea for years as there’s somewhere to make memories around every corner of the coast, even if beaches aren’t your thing. Whisk your toddlers away for days out at Folly Farm and the Welsh Wildlife Centre to see a host of animals or spend time with your loved ones at Castell Henllys and Carew Castle for historical fun. Take your teenagers to try go-karting at Heatherton and mountain biking at Llys Y Fran.
Or take a boat trip to one of the islands
Pembrokeshire makes the perfect place to unwind and spend special moments with those you love the most. When you choose Wales for your summer staycation, you’ll be leaving with more than just sun-kissed skin and sandy toes. You’ll take home a bank of “Remember that time when we…” stories, tales that will leave you giggling for years to come and likely a photo album bursting with sentimental snaps from your time here.
