Beaches near St Florence
Lydstep Haven
A wide sheltered south-facing bay between Tenby and Manorbier, sitting inside a private holiday park — check access before you go.
Dogs all yearTenby South Beach
A mile and a half of dune-backed sand towards Giltar Point, with Caldey Island floating offshore — Tenby's family workhorse.
Tenby North Beach
The postcard one: harbour, Goscar Rock and sheltered sand beneath the pastel town.
Tenby Castle Beach
The small beach between Castle Hill and St Catherine's Island — rockpools, the lifeboat station, and a low-tide walk to the fort.
Monkstone Beach
A secluded sandy beach under Monkstone Point between Tenby and Saundersfoot — earned by a steep walk down through woods.
Skrinkle Haven
Two limestone coves split by the Church Doors arch, reached by a long steel staircase — spectacular, awkward and tide-dependent.
