Beach Overview
Tenby North is one of the county’s much loved and certainly most photographed beaches. It is famous the world over for its combination of the subtle colours and dramatic outcrops of rock, set against the beautiful straw coloured sands. With the town of Tenby proudly parading its pastel coloured houses around the crescent of this beach, it makes for a picture perfect place.
Sandwiched between the impressive North Cliffs and the Harbour beach, Tenby North is a wide, gloriously sandy and well-protected space. This east-facing beach is well sheltered from the wind, making it a hit with visitors all through the year. It benefits from the sun almost all day and because of its formation, feels warmer even if winds are high. Towards the back of the beach, the cliffs provide further shelter creating a perfect spot for sunbathing.
