5 staysPembrokeshire's postcard town: pastel Georgian houses above three superb beaches, a working harbour and medieval walls — the classic Welsh seaside holiday.
1 stayBig sandy beach, busy little harbour and a proper seaside village centre — Tenby's more relaxed neighbour, three miles up the coast.
Britain's smallest city — a cathedral in a hollow, Whitesands Bay up the road, and the wildest, most beautiful corner of the national park all around.
A perfect natural harbour winding between green hills — pastel cottages, galleries, two good pubs and boats on the tide.
Watersports village on a sheltered bay near St Ann's Head — sailing, paddleboarding, a legendary pub, and the Marloes peninsula's great walks next door.
4 staysPembrokeshire's foodie market town: independent shops, galleries and serious restaurants on one handsome hilltop high street, twenty minutes from the beaches.
1 stayNorth Pembrokeshire's gem: a relaxed little town between Carn Ingli mountain and a huge estuary beach, with a food scene that outclasses towns five times its size.
Forty-five of them, honestly described. Pick by what you need — the lists below are worked out from dog rules, lifeguard cover and measured distances to the nearest car park, toilet and pub, not from a tick box someone forgot to update.

Local knowledge, written down properly.
inspiration
Britain's only coastal national park, explained properly: which coast suits you, the twelve places that define the county, the best of 64 beaches, the Coast Path, the wildlife calendar and where to stay.
destination
Inside the walls, on the Esplanade, or out by the golf links. What each part of Tenby costs you in parking and stairs, and when to book.
inspiration
The best hot-tub week here is usually in February. What to check before you book, why nearly all of them are inland, and what owners will tell you if you ask.
beaches
Four beaches take dogs all year. Most of the busy ones ban them from 1 May to 30 September. Plan around that and the rest of the week looks after itself.
practical
186 miles, about 35,000 feet of ascent, and one section that shuts for live firing. Fixed base or nightly moves, the buses, and the stretches worth planning around.
inspiration
Twelve pubs where the setting is the point — tidal tracks, quarry harbours, front-room bars and beer served from a jug.
