There are a lot of beautiful beaches to choose from in South Wales. I’m assuming you are going on holiday, or live here and looking for things to do. If that’s the case let me show you my 3 top picks for the best beaches in south wales. Whether you are on holiday or live close by and looking for a beach day out. In this post, I am going to go over the best beaches in South Wales.

The best beaches in South Wales

The beaches I am going to cover are in m opinion the 3 best in South Wales and must-visit for anyone.

Tresaith Beach – Ceredigion

Tresaith is set in a small sheltered sandy bay named after the River Saith which spills over the cliffs like a waterfall down to the beach. This beach is great for families and people looking for some lovely views. It also has nearby shops, cafes, a pub and public toilets.

Tresaith beach is great for water sports such as sailing and surfing. It has a sailing club and a slipway. You may also get lucky while you are here and spot some dolphins and seals! There is also rock pooling here.

This beach is a great all-rounder because there is a lot to do. As long as it’s not too busy, it’s a great choice.

Dogs: Restricted in sections of this beach

Blue Pool Bay (Blue Pool Corner) – Glamorgan

Blue Pool Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches in South Wales. This is made even better because it is very quiet. This is because it is quite a walk to get to, especially with gear. Don’t let the just under a mile walk put you off though. This golden sand bay in South Wales is the beach to visit.

If you can get your surfboard (or other water sports gear) down to this beach, you will have so much fun. The name for this bay comes from a large roc poo, (15ft across), the pool is about 8 meters deep at high tide. This means it’s great for cliff jumping – there is injury risk so I’m not recommending you do it without experience and people with you. Especially be careful here as it’s far away from anything and has no lifeguard if you hurt yourself.

Note: There is no lifeguard cover for this beach. If you visit please be wary and safe.

North Tenby Beach – Pembrokeshire

Tenby North Beach is easy to spot if you are in Tenby. You know you are here when you are greeted by the iconic Goscar Rock. On North Tenby Beach you will find a long stretch of golden sand. As this beach backs onto the town you have loads of restaurants, shops, pubs, and cafes within walking distance. There are lots of watersports that go on at this beach. If that’s not for you though, don’t worry as deck chairs are also available to hire.

Being surrounded by cliffs, North Tenby Beach is often regarded as one of the prettiest beaches in Pembrokeshire. Looking out to sea, you will have beautiful views across Carmarthen Bay. North Tenby Beach is accessed via the steps from North Cliff or through the Harbour. Being this beautiful and easy to access, it is a busy spot when the weather is good.
