Saundersfoot Beach · 200 yards from Saundersfoot
Huge, safe, gently-shelving village sand — one of Wales's classic family beaches, with the harbour alongside.
Beaches near Saundersfoot
There are 9 beaches within about 5 miles of Saundersfoot. The closest is Saundersfoot Beach, 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: Saundersfoot Beach, Tenby North Beach and Tenby South Beach. Cover has a first and last day each year, so check the RNLI's own dates before you rely on it.
2 welcome dogs all year (Amroth Beach and Tenby South Beach); the rest restrict them from 1 May to 30 September. Signs at the access points are the authority, not us.
5 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.

Each of them, briefly
Coppet Hall · 900 yards from Saundersfoot
Saundersfoot's quieter neighbour through the first tunnel — parking, a serious café, and the same lovely sand.
Monkstone Beach · 1.1 miles from Saundersfoot
A secluded sandy beach under Monkstone Point between Tenby and Saundersfoot — earned by a steep walk down through woods.
Wiseman's Bridge · 1.5 miles from Saundersfoot
The quiet middle beach on the Amroth–Saundersfoot tramway walk: pebbles at the top, wide firm sand below, pub on the sea front.
Tenby North Beach · 2.3 miles from Saundersfoot
The postcard one: harbour, Goscar Rock and sheltered sand beneath the pastel town.
Tenby Castle Beach · 2.6 miles from Saundersfoot
The small beach between Castle Hill and St Catherine's Island — rockpools, the lifeboat station, and a low-tide walk to the fort.
Amroth Beach · 2.7 miles from Saundersfoot
A long low-tide beach at the Coast Path's start, with a 7,000-year-old drowned forest under the sand and a year-round dog end.
Tenby South Beach · 3 miles from Saundersfoot
A mile and a half of dune-backed sand towards Giltar Point, with Caldey Island floating offshore — Tenby's family workhorse.
Lydstep Haven · 5 miles from Saundersfoot
A wide sheltered south-facing bay between Tenby and Manorbier, sitting inside a private holiday park — check access before you go.
