Beaches near Fishguard & Goodwick

There are 3 beaches within about 5 miles of Fishguard & Goodwick. The closest is Goodwick Sands, 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.

Every beach here restricts dogs between May and September. Out of season the whole list opens up, which is why Pembrokeshire in October is full of dogs.

Parking is the constraint: only 1 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 Fishguard & Goodwick, so the drive is longer. Car park and toilet distances are measured from the beach to the nearest one we hold coordinates for.
