Head down to the harbour to catch a boat to Caldey Island or enjoy a relaxing trip around the bay, keeping an eye out for dolphins and other marine life. And when it’s time for a classic family beach day, take your pick from Pembrokeshire’s award-winning beaches — each one offering its own stretch of golden sand and coastal charm.
Steeped in history, Tenby is filled with scenic walks that lead you through medieval walls, across sweeping beaches and up to hilltop viewpoints with unforgettable panoramas.
