Druidston Haven · 200 yards from Druidston
A long, wild, cliff-backed strand between Broad Haven and Nolton — big sand at low water, almost no facilities, and very little parking.
There are 6 beaches within about 5 miles of Druidston. The closest is Druidston Haven, 200 yards away as the crow flies — further by road, because almost everything here is further by road.
3 of them have seasonal RNLI lifeguard cover: Nolton Haven, 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.
4 welcome dogs all year across the whole beach (Druidston Haven, Nolton Haven, Little Haven and Porthmynawyd (Pointz Castle)); 2 are zoned — one end open all year, the bathing area restricted in season (Broad Haven and Newgale Sands). 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.
