Tenby (South Beach)

Facing south east towards Caldey Island, this beach is a 2 kilometre stretch of sand, of which the north eastern section forms this bathing water. It is backed by dunes at the south end, with limestone cliffs and a promenade at the north end. A golf course and Penally village lie further behind. The beach is located within the Carmarthen Bay Special Area of Conservation, with the cliffs and St Catherine’s Island being listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, confirming the high conservation status of the area. The bathing water also lies within Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
