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.
Dale sits on a broad, sheltered bay just inside the mouth of the Milford Haven waterway, which makes it the county's natural watersports base: dinghy sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding all run from the beach in season, with hire and instruction on hand. The Griffin Inn, on the water's edge, is one of Pembrokeshire's best-loved pubs — crab from the bay, boats on the moorings, sunsets over the anchorage.
The walking is superb: out to St Ann's Head lighthouse past Mill Bay (where Henry Tudor landed in 1485 on his way to Bosworth), or over the neck of the peninsula to west-facing Westdale Bay for the last light. Marloes Sands and the Skomer boats at Martin's Haven are minutes away. Dale is small and self-contained — a village for people whose holiday happens on and in the water.
Where to stay in Dale
Around the seafront and Blue Anchor Way for bay views and a stroll to the Griffin; the lanes towards St Ann's Head for quiet. Nearby Marloes village adds more cottage supply ten minutes away.
