The attractions in and around Caerfai Bay

Caerfai Bay Caravan and Tent Park is situated in a beautiful part of Wales, with views into Caerfai Bay and across St Brides Bay towards Solva, Newgale, Broad Haven, and the islands of Skomer, Skokholm, Grassholm and Ramsey.

Caerfai Bay is a tidal beach: beautiful sands and fascinating rock pools when the tide is out. There is a concrete path down to the beach, some steps at the end, and depending on the sand level at the time of year, a few stones and pebbles just before the sand. There are many other beaches to visit locally such as Whitesands, Porth Melgan, and Abereiddy. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is approximately 180 miles long. You can take a short walk from the beach or for the serious walker try the whole length. In recent years small local bus services have been developed to connect various stages of the walk.

Whitesands has a wide expanse of sand, suitable for surfing, swimming and kayaking. It has a permanent lifeguard station, café and shop.

Porth Melgan is approached by cliff path to the north of Whitesands, and is en route to St Davids Head where there are stone circles – remnants of a Neolithic settlement, and also a Neolithic burial chamber called a Cromlech.

Porth Selau is another small beach approached this time from the southern path from Whitesands.

Abereiddy beach is known for its dark sand and fossils. Cottage ruins and ruins of old quarry workings can be seen on the footpath (part of which has wheelchair access) and takes you to ‘The Blue Lagoon’ a flooded quarry to the north of Abereiddy.

Local Harbours are Porthclais, Solva, Abercastle and Porthgain (where you can see the remnants of old granite workings; it also has a pub – ‘The Sloop’, and a seafood Bistro – ‘The Shed’).
St Justinian not only houses the Lifeboat station, but several of the boat trips to Ramsey and the outer islands go from here:
Voyages of Discovery
Thousand Islands Expeditions
Boat trips leaving from Solva

Outside activity adventures such as coasteering, climbing, kayaking and surfing can be arranged from TYF in St Davids. To explore the peninsula by horseback, we recommend the St. Davids Trekking Centre. A different day out can be had discovering some of the edible delights of our shoreline and hedgerows with Really Wild Foraging.

Indoor activities: There are swimming pools and leisure centres in Fishguard and Haverfordwest. There is a new local sports hall in St Davids near the school. You can visit their website.
