Escape to the Marloes Peninsula, a hidden gem nestled on the very western edge of Pembrokeshire. Stunning seascapes and a wealth of wildlife are waiting to greet you.
Stretching over a mile this expanse of golden sand offers some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere on the Welsh coast. Set on a peninsula that forms the south-westerly tip of Wales, Marloes Sands is exposed to the full force of the ocean. Combined with the high cliffs that back the beach, this is a very dramatic location.

Little Haven
Little Haven beach lies in St Bride’s Bay immediately next to the picturesque fishing village of the same name.
The beach forms a natural cove, flanked on either side with rocks. Little Haven beach itself is a mix of wet sand and pebbles. When the tide is in the beach is really quite small but at low tide visitors are able to walk around the headland to the large sandy bay at Settlands and beyond that to Broad Haven. The Pembrokeshire Coast path also passes alongside the beach and offers pleasant walks in both directions.

This westerly facing beach is located within the wide arc of Brides Bay and is one of two beaches known as Broadhaven. The beach here is also known as Broad Haven North, with Broad Haven South being some distance away on Pembrokeshire’s south coast.
The village of Broadhaven grew as a resort during the Victorian era. Despite its small size it has a rather grand sea front complete with promenade. Today it is still a popular spot, largely owing to the quality of the beach here which is a regular recipient of the Blue Flag award.

Monks Haven
Set at the end of a wooded valley near the village of St Ishmaels is a cove that is every bit as tranquil as its name - Monk Haven. This comes from a monastic settlement that existed here long ago.
Whilst no traces of the monks remain it is hard not to notice the high castellated wall that runs across the back of the beach. This is a much more recent addition, being built by the 19th century owners of the estate that backs onto the beach - the Warren-Davis family of Trewarren. There are also the remains of a watchtower a little way along the coast path from here.
Today the estate is largely farm land and the manor house (which was actually a vicarage) is run as a B&B.

Martins Haven is set in a sheltered, rocky cove and backed a steep bank of shingle and pebbles behind. Beyond this is the road leads down to the beach, forming a slipway.
The beach is close to the Skomer Marine Nature Reserve and this is where you catch the boat for the two mile trip to visit the Island. This is one for the nature lovers with an abundance of bird and sea life to be seen.
Diving is also a popular pastime here. as the nature reserve extends well beyond the coast.
Nearby is Lockley Lodge which is a visitor centre owned by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. It is also close to pretty Marloes Village and you will find a good range of B&Bs and campsites in the surrounding area.
