West Angle beach is located within West Angle Bay, tucked away at the sheltered mouth of the Milford Haven estuary about a mile west of Angle village. A thin slip of beach at high tide reveals a much larger, golden sandy beach at low tide.

The beach does offer a delightful expanse of sandy beach at low tides. There are plenty of rock pools and caves to explore which reveal, again at low tide, a small secret cove that can be accessed over the rocks.
Although this is a popular spot for swimming, the beach does experience strong currents so caution is advised here. There is no lifeguard service here.
