Monkstone Beach
A secluded sandy beach under Monkstone Point between Tenby and Saundersfoot — earned by a steep walk down through woods.
Wiseman's Bridge
The quiet middle beach on the Amroth–Saundersfoot tramway walk: pebbles at the top, wide firm sand below, pub on the sea front.

The postcard one: harbour, Goscar Rock and sheltered sand beneath the pastel town.
