Beach
Seven miles south of Carmarthen, this large peaceful beach with views across the River Towy to Ferryside, has lovely soft sand to sit on and firm sand for building sand castles. The beach is covered with cockle shells and the rock pools are alive as you venture towards Scott’s Bay. Unique selling point: the lovely fish & chips to be had from a little "hut" by the beach. Overlooking the beach is another of Wales’ famous castles, the 12th century Norman built stronghold (Llansteffan Castle) which is known for its monumental Great Gatehouse. The village was once a fashionable holiday destination for Victorian and Edwardian folk from the towns.

Found to the west of Telpyn Point near Amroth is Telpyn Beach, a wide sandy beach framed by dramatic coastal cliffs and pebble banks. Popular with swimmers and sunbathers in the know, a large smooth jut of rock forms a divide between Telpyn and Marros Beach, providing the ultimate platform upon which to lie back and catch some rays. The wide, cool waters are great for swimmers willing to brave the temperatures and dogs are allowed on the beach at all times; making it a great spot for Autumnal walks with pooch in tow. Access from the Amroth to Pendine road (sign - ‘Telpyn Beach’).

“Wow!” is probably the best way to describe this beach.
A small bay backed by dunes and pine trees, accessible only by a half mile walk from the nearest car park. Swathes of golden sand and crystal clear waters, Barafundle has been voted many, many times as one of the best beaches in Britain and the world; it’s often likened to a Caribbean beach! This pristine beach is isolated which means no facilities; so everything you take has to come back up over the cliffs.

Tucked between two headland points to the west of Pendine is Morfa Bychan - a small, pretty golden sand beach backed by a large pebble bank, leading into a lush, wooded valley. Commanding exceptional views over Carmarthen Bay towards the Gower and North Somerset, the beach is part of a rugged and remote section of the Carmarthenshire coastline, often meaning that visitors get the sands to themselves. Beach-goers willing to brave the brisk Autumn waters are safe to swim at high tide, and keen-eyed nature lovers will be able to spot the petrified remains of an extensive forest in the sands at low-tide; as well as the remnants of a Medieval field system. You will find Morfa Bychan by following the Coast Path West over the headland from Pendine, or vehicular access can be found by following the lane on the left hand side just after the Green Bridge Inn.

Days out
Tenby is probably the most iconic and well-visited seaside town in Wales. Steeped in ancient history and surrounded by an imposing medieval stone wall.
There are plenty of shops in the town specialising in locally produced items and plenty of attractions such as boat trips, wildlife parks, golf and plenty of walks within the surrounding areas across the many beautiful beaches and the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.
When you visit Tenby you will discover a maze of narrow little streets. The roads are pedestrianised during the day in summer when the bars and restaurants set up al fresco seating. There are plenty of fascinating and quirky shops.
