4. Freshwater West
Known for being one of the most beautiful beaches in Pembrokeshire as well as one of the best surfing spots, Freshwater West has something to offer everyone. Divided from the road by huge sand dunes that roll into the surrounding landscapes, the extensive stretch of sand is edged at the south by dramatic cliffs and even at high tide, feels vast. 'Freshwest', as it is called locally, is one of Wales’s top surfing beaches and the base of the Outer Reef Surf School which offers surfing tuition for adults and youngsters, instructor courses, and lifeguarding awards. On early mornings you will often find the car parks full of keen surfers ready to catch the early morning waves at this picturesque spot. The sandy beach has a pebbled area at the bottom of the dunes that can be difficult to navigate for some, but if not, it’s definitely worth exploring the mass of dunes during your visit – just don’t get lost. Ideal for a walk, a day out, or just to sit, take a break, and admire the beauty of the coastline.
