Out and About in Pembrokeshire

Pembrokeshire is one of the must truly unique counties in the whole of Wales, if not the UK! Known across the world for its legendary coastal scenery, protected by Britain’s only coastal National Park, Pembrokeshire is the perfect holiday destination: golden sands backed by towering cliffs teeming with wildlife that are just as beautiful in summer was they are in winter.

In this our Year of the Sea 2018, we celebrate our outstanding coastline and epic shores. The Year of the Sea was just made for Pembrokeshire. Surrounded on three sides by water and with no part of Pembrokeshire being more than 14 miles from the coast you can see why we have salt water in our veins.

The best way to see our coastline is from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, all 186 miles from St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south, you’ll pass seascapes of breathtaking variety, award winning beaches, harbours, inlets and islands.

Along the way you’ll no doubt pass all those who just love to be in or on the water.  There’s coasteering, surfing, diving, paddleboarding, kayaking not to mention messing about on boats – fishing or sailing.

Families have no end of choice; adventure parks, castles, boat trips and family festivals, they are just some of the attractions and events that will create lasting memories that are talked about for years.

A visit to Pembrokeshire will be your greatest coastal experience of 2018. Go on, take the plunge!
