Freshwater East
Dune-backed family bay between Tenby and the Stackpole coast — a quiet base with Barafundle over the headland.
Freshwater East curves between two headlands, its wide sands backed by a rare dune system managed as a nature reserve. It's a calm, low-key family beach — sandcastles, safe paddling on a rising tide, kayaks off the slip — without a resort behind it: just a scatter of houses in the trees, a pub up the hill and the Coast Path running through.
Its trump card is position. Walk the Coast Path west and within an hour and a half you reach Stackpole Quay and then Barafundle Bay, the beach everyone photographs; drive ten minutes and you're at Bosherston's lily ponds or Manorbier's castle; Tenby is fifteen minutes east. A cottage here buys peace with everything close.
Where to stay in Freshwater East
The wooded hillside above the bay for sea glimpses and short walks to the sand; Lamphey (five minutes inland, with a Bishop's Palace ruin and a train halt) widens the choice.

Tenby
Pembrokeshire's postcard town: pastel Georgian houses above three superb beaches, a working harbour and medieval walls — the classic Welsh seaside holiday.
Saundersfoot
Big sandy beach, busy little harbour and a proper seaside village centre — Tenby's more relaxed neighbour, three miles up the coast.
St Davids
Britain's smallest city — a cathedral in a hollow, Whitesands Bay up the road, and the wildest, most beautiful corner of the national park all around.
