16 beach accessible via a steep cliffside pathway . The walk-in keeps things quiet . It ’ s worth a look , as it can be spectacular in the early spring sunshine . Watch out for high tide as it ’ s sketchy to access , with Marloes mostly disappearing when the sea pushes in .
Newgale ’ s crowning glory For us as a family – when looking for more rugged yet accessible spots – Newgale is the one . An hour or so away from Saundersfoot Newgale is a choice wave beach that also works at lower tides . The shore dump onto the large stones at high tide can be significant .
As with everywhere in Pembs , there are other beaches close by . Newgale ’ s low-tide sandy expanse links with Broadhaven , so there ’ s plenty of space . Surf-wise , it can get chunky here . But more often , it ’ s mellow and easygoing . If quite exposed to the wind . Wing foiling can be awesome though !
Eats and drinks There are lots of choices for eating and drinking options . Pembrokeshire has all the usual artisan stuff you ’ d hope to find . For families , however , the following is what I would suggest .
The Amroth Arms is a chilled , family-friendly beachfront pub in Amroth . It gets busy in summer , so get there early . There is no option to book as it ’ s first come , first served .
The Angel is part of a hotel in Narberth and has a slightly upper-market restaurant that ’ s still family-friendly . Narberth itself is a quaint , small town with other eateries as well .
The Boar ’ s Head is another higher-end bistro-style pub . The Boar ’ s Head at Templeton is worth a look . It also gets busy on the main road to Narberth , so reservations are essential .
Dragon Palace is a popular and authentic Chinese restaurant just outside of Saundersfoot . If you like Chinese food , this is recommended .
Fish and chips on the beach – plenty of takeaways , depending on your location .
As with everything in Pembrokeshire , there ’ s a wide range of choices depending on what you ’ re after . These suggestions are just a few of what we ’ ve experienced as a family .
Summing up Pembrokeshire has something for everybody . You don ’ t need to be a paddle border to enjoy the wild west of Wales . It ’ s an excellent location for families and one we ’ ll undoubtedly return to . If you ’ ve never experienced Pembrokeshire , I ’ d highly recommend it .
Other things to do
If SUP and watersports aren ’ t doing it for you , plenty of stuff keeps your family entertained . In particular , the Welsh love a castle – practically one on every corner . As such , exploring and discovering these ancient monuments is an easy activity that takes some time . But there ’ s more , too .
