Beaches near Bosherston & Stackpole

There are 5 beaches within about 5 miles of Bosherston & Stackpole. The closest is Barafundle Bay, 0.8 miles away as the crow flies — further by road, because almost everything here is further by road.

None of them has RNLI lifeguard cover. That doesn't make them dangerous, but it does mean nobody is watching the water, and this coast has rip currents and a big tidal range. Swim where you can stand, and dial 999 for the Coastguard if anything goes wrong.

All of them welcome dogs year round — unusual, and worth knowing if you're travelling with one.

Parking is the constraint: only 2 have a mapped car park within half a mile, and in July and August those fill by mid-morning.

Distances are straight-line from the centre of Bosherston & Stackpole, so the drive is longer. Car park and toilet distances are measured from the beach to the nearest one we hold coordinates for.

Dog restrictions and lifeguard dates are set locally and do change. The signs at the beach access points are the authority — not this table.
