Beaches near Stackpole

There are 6 beaches within about 5 miles of Stackpole. The closest is Stackpole Quay, 0.7 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.

2 welcome dogs all year (Barafundle Bay and Broad Haven South); the rest restrict them from 1 May to 30 September. Signs at the access points are the authority, not us.

3 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.

Distances are straight-line from the centre of Stackpole, so the drive is longer. Car park and toilet distances are measured from the beach to the nearest one we hold coordinates for.

Dog restrictions and lifeguard dates are set locally and do change. The signs at the beach access points are the authority — not this table.
