If you’re ever in Wales, don’t skip Tenby. It’s a beautiful, historic, fishing village located in the Pembrokeshire region and one of the most beautiful seaside towns in Wales. There’s something for everyone in this town and here are our favorite things to see.
Beaches
There are plenty of sandy beaches in Tenby, but the north and south beach are considered the most beautiful. They’re also conveniently located—only minutes from the historic streets of the village. The beaches are pretty big so there are usually no crowds, which means a lot during the Covid-19 crisis.
St Catherine’s Island
You can easily visit St Catherine’s Island from the beach by foot, which sounds insane at first, but not when you know that it becomes a tidal island at low tide. Once you get to the island, you can take a tour of the charming old property.
Tenby Castle
Tenby Castle offers incredible views of the village and the surrounding area. When the weather’s right, you can see all the way to the Bristol Channel. The major part of the castle is in ruins, but the place offers a unique insight into centuries of history that you don’t want to miss. The walk to it is a bit steep but worth every step and not too long; you’ll get there before you know it.
