Pembrokeshire beaches with toilets nearby

An unglamorous page, and one of the most useful on this site if you're travelling with small children or anyone who needs to know before setting off.

The beaches below have public toilets mapped within about half a mile. Two caveats worth taking seriously. Seasonal opening is normal on this coast — a block that's open in August may be locked in November. And "nearby" at a beach like Barafundle means a walk back over the headland, not a dash across the sand.

Where a beach isn't on this list, assume there is nothing and plan accordingly. That's not us being unhelpful; it's the actual state of most of the Pembrokeshire coast, and it's part of why it still looks the way it does.

How this list was made: Beaches with public toilets in our database within 800 metres. It is worked out from our own data every time this page is built, not maintained by hand — so it stays in step with the individual beach guides. 21 of the 45 beaches we cover qualify.
