Visit Amroth Beach
Amroth Beach is a welcoming, well-kept coastal treasure on the South Pembrokeshire coast. Whether you’re strolling the coast path, hunting fossils, or just watching the waves with a coffee in hand, it offers something simple and special for everyone.
With its long stretch of golden sand, traditional seaside charm, and welcoming atmosphere, Amroth Beach is a favourite for families, walkers, and day-trippers looking to relax on the coast.
It’s a popular spot for visitors seeking a mix of family-friendly activities, and a peaceful seaside escape. The beach stretches for about half a mile which expands into a vast, flat expanse at low tide – perfect for beach games, walking, or simply soaking in the scenery. You may even see horse riders galloping along the sand.
At very low tides, you can spot the remnants of a prehistoric forest, with preserved tree stumps poking up from the sand- an eerie and fascinating sight that dates back around 7,000 years.
Walking along the beach and you will come across a small stream, running down to the sand. This marks the old boundary between Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.
At high tide, the sandy area shrinks, revealing a pebble bank above the shoreline, adding a bit of rugged charm.
It’s less crowded than nearby hotspots like Tenby Castle Beach or Saundersfoot, giving it a relaxed, hidden-gem vibe. For families, there are rock pools to explore at the western end, and the beach is easily accessible with a concrete slipway and ramped paths, making it wheelchair-friendly in parts.
For those walking the full length of the coast path, Amroth marks the eastern start (or end) of the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path. A symbolic and scenic point for walkers and photographers. There’s even a signpost marking the spot!
Amroth is a flat beach with level access from the promenade and seafront parking, making it a good choice for visitors with mobility concerns, prams, or wheelchairs. It’s less commercial than nearby Tenby, offering a slower pace and authentic Welsh seaside atmosphere.
Dogs are not allowed on the central section of the beach from May 1st to September 30th, but the western and eastern ends remain dog-friendly all year. Always check signs for clarity.
