Tenby Castle Beach

Castle Beach in Tenby, West Wales, is a blue flag beach, situated between Castle Hill and the East Cliff. It’s a lovely sandy beach in the centre of Tenby town and is popular with young families.  The water is shallow and ideal for swimming. There are paid public toilets on the beach and cafes too. St Catherines Island dominates the beach and used to be open to the public but it is closed at the moment. 

At low tide, you can take a boat to Caldy Island, home to Cistercian Monks. It’s an interesting place to visit to see the Abbey and priory, the lighthouse and the gift shop where you can buy perfume and chocolate made on the island by the monks. 

Top tip – before visiting Castle Beach be sure to check the tide times so you don’t get cut off by the tides. From May to the end of September, dogs are not allowed on the beach.
