Beach Overview
West Dale is a captivating cove, crowned by crumbly cliffs and accessed from the Coast Path. The beach itself is a wash of golden sands with stunning views out to Skokholm Island.
At high tide there is a small but decent amount of sand and shingle beach to access, but at lower tides there is plenty of golden soft sandy beach to enjoy.

More Information
Although this is a popular beach with surfers and those who enjoy water sports, the beach suffers from strong currents and rip tides. There are also submerged rocks, which can make it hazardous for those who aren’t familiar with the area.
Access to the beach is from the Coast Path and then down some very steep steps. Access is not possible for those in wheelchairs or with buggies.
The view from the beach is out to the bird sanctuary of Skokholm Island. It is also said that this beach is where King Henry VII, who was born in Pembroke - at the castle, landed his army having sailed from France, before their march through Wales and on to Bosworth.
There are no facilities here, but Dale isn’t too far away, which offers a few facilities.
There is no car parking here, except for the occasional space on the approaching lanes. Dale is the closest car park.
Dogs are allowed on the beach year round.
