Latest reviews on Freshwater East's beaches

Barafundle Bay beach
10 Rashid Ali

The beach is a serene and picturesque location with a tranquil atmosphere. The stunning views are captivating and the sand is smooth and free of any pesky pebbles. The beach is not overcrowded, making it a peaceful retreat to unwind and appreciate the soothing sounds of the waves. The locals are amiable and hospitable, adding to the welcoming ambiance. Walking or hiking the two routes available, lasting either two or four hours, is highly recommended. The routes lead back to the Quay car park, which is pricey but definitely worth the expense. It is advisable to bring water bottles and some snacks for the journey. Our experience at the beach was nothing short of amazing.

The views are absolutely breathtaking, and I'm sure they're even more impressive when the sun is shining. I highly recommend adding this location to your list of must-visit places in Wales. You won't regret it!

Manorbier beach

This beach is a haven for dog-lovers and never gets too crowded. The waves are perfect for body-boarding, but it's important to note that there are no lifeguards on duty.

Broad Haven South

This beach is absolutely gorgeous, a hidden gem. It's dog-friendly and there's a beautiful walk through the lily ponds where you might even spot some otters swimming. It truly is a magical place.
