Coasteering was invented here, at St Davids, and the county is still the best place in Britain to do it. Around that sits the rest: surfing at Newgale, Freshwater West, Whitesands and Manorbier; sea kayaking around Ramsey and Skomer; sailing out of Neyland, Milford Haven and Dale; riding on the beaches at Nolton and Druidston; and coast-facing golf at Tenby, Newport and Milford Haven.
Two things matter more here than almost anywhere else on the British coast. The tides in the Milford Haven waterway and around the islands are among the strongest in the UK — Ramsey Sound in particular is not a place to freelance. And the weather window is short in either direction, so book activities with slack in the schedule rather than on the one day you need them.
Our own picks. Nobody pays to be here.

The county's big freshwater playground — a reservoir under the Preselis with bike trails, watersports hire, fishing and a lakeside café.
The surf school and hire shop on Newgale beach — lessons, boards and wetsuits right on the county's biggest learner wave.
Horse rides down to and along the sand at Druidston — the gallop-on-a-Welsh-beach photograph, made real for riders of most abilities.

The boat service from Martin's Haven that lands day visitors on Skomer — the crossing behind every puffin photograph you've seen.
