Swanlake Bay Beach

Visit Swanlake Beach

Swanlake Beach is a rugged and secluded gem, along the South Pembrokeshire coast, that is off the beaten path. This hidden treasure can only be accessed on foot, which adds to its tranquility and peacefulness.

Primarily a shingle beach, it reveals stretches of golden sand and intriguing rock pools during low tide, providing diverse landscapes for visitors to explore. ​

Despite the lack of facilities, the beach rewards you with breathtaking views from the path in either direction. However, keep in mind that the steep climbs up and down can be a bit challenging, but the experience is well worth it.

The bay is popular among anglers, offering spots along the shoreline and rocky outcrops for fishing enthusiasts. ​

There are no lifeguard services at Swanlake Bay. Visitors should exercise caution when swimming or engaging in water activities.​ It’s essential to check tide times before visiting, as the beach’s size and accessibility are significantly influenced by tidal movements. ​

The surrounding cliffs and coastal environment are rich in wildlife, making it a delightful spot for birdwatching and nature observation.​

This beach is also a popular naturist beach!

Dogs are welcome year-round, making it an ideal spot for pet owners seeking a quiet coastal walk with their furry companions. ​
