Broad Haven · 500 yards from Broad Haven
St Brides Bay's most useful family beach: wide flat sand, lifeguards in season, and everything you need within a minute of your towel.
Beaches near Broad Haven
There are 5 beaches within about 5 miles of Broad Haven. The closest is Broad Haven, 500 yards away as the crow flies — further by road, because almost everything here is further by road.
2 of them have seasonal RNLI lifeguard cover: Broad Haven and Newgale Sands. Cover has a first and last day each year, so check the RNLI's own dates before you rely on it.
1 welcome dogs all year (Newgale Sands); the rest restrict them from 1 May to 30 September. Signs at the access points are the authority, not us.
4 have a car park within half a mile. In July and August, arrive before ten or after four — Pembrokeshire beach car parks fill early and there is nowhere to overspill to.
