Gelliswick Bay · 4 miles from Neyland
Milford Haven's own sheltered bay — shingle and sand on the waterway, home to the sailing club and a genuinely local beach.
There are 1 beaches within about 5 miles of Neyland. The closest is Gelliswick Bay, 4 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.
We hold no car park within half a mile of any of them, so plan on parking in Neyland and walking.
| Beach | Distance | Dogs | Lifeguards | Car park | Toilets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gelliswick Bay | 4 miles | Restricted in summer | None | 0.8 km away | 1.7 km away |
Dog restrictions and lifeguard dates are set locally and do change. The signs at the beach access points are the authority — not this table.
