5. Whitesands Bay
Moving a bit further away from the Lodge to Another popular spot with surfers and water sports fanatics, Whitesands is an award-winning beach overlooked by the imposing headland of Carn Llidi. Found on the St. David’s Peninsula, the westerly, wide sandy beach curves northwards, while there are quieter, sheltered bays towards the south. The wide sandy beach is perfect for a day of sandcastle-making or relaxing, but the strong currents do mean you have to take extra care if you decide to swim. You can pick up the coast path and walk north or south; or why not climb to the top of Carn Llidi and be rewarded with a magnificent view? As one of the best surf spots in the country, on most days you’ll find surfers, kayakers, and body-boarders toward the northern end of the beach, which is entertaining to watch even if you have no plans of getting in the water.

Accessibility: There is a slipway from the car park to the beach. Facilities: There are toilets with disabled access in the car park, as well as a cafe. Lifeguards patrol the beach from the end of May to September.
