Your Guide to Exploring Pembrokeshire with Coastal Holidays Pembrokeshire

If you’re planning a getaway to Pembrokeshire, you’re in for a real treat. From towering cliffs and golden beaches to charming seaside villages and wild adventures, this corner of Wales is bursting with things to see and do.

At Coastal Holidays Pembrokeshire, we’re lucky to offer two lovely spots to call home while you explore it all:

Southwood Cottage – perfect for families and large groups, with room to spread out and relax

Ocean View Studio – an ideal cosy escape for couples and solo travellers, complete with sea views and peace and quiet

So, whether you’re travelling as a group or going it alone, here’s our local’s guide to the very best of Pembrokeshire!

Beach Days Are a Must

Let’s start with the obvious: Pembrokeshire beaches are some of the best in the UK (and maybe even the world—we’re not biased, honest!).

• Newgale Beach – Just down the road from both cottages, this huge sandy stretch is brilliant for surfing, sandcastle building, and picnics with a view.
  
• Whitesands – Great for families, with soft sand, parking, and even an ice cream van.
  
• Little Haven & Broad Haven – Charming coastal villages with cafes, pubs, and calm waters for paddling.

Top tip: Grab fish and chips in Solva and take them to the harbour wall at sunset. You won’t regret it.

Walk the Pembrokeshire Coast Path

Whether you’re doing a big hike or a short meander, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path offers jaw-dropping views and peaceful spots to stop and take it all in.

• For families and groups, the walk from Broad Haven to Little Haven is short, fun, and ends with a pub!
  
• For solo travellers or couples, the stretch near Druidstone is wild, beautiful, and often quiet — perfect for a peaceful escape.

Don’t forget to bring your camera—the photo opportunies are endless.
