An insider’s guide to Tenby
Begin your morning with a specialty brew and a Welsh breakfast at Caffe Vista. Its secret outdoor balcony provides unrivalled views of Tenby North Beach and Tenby Harbour. Walk off your meal with a leisurely stroll around Castle Hill, home to captivating landmarks such as Tenby Lifeboat Station, Tenby Castle, and a striking pavilion. If you’re the outdoorsy type, a hike from Tenby to Saundersfoot along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is a superb way to experience the breathtaking scenery. If history and adventure are more to your liking, consider a boat trip to Caldey Island for a truly unique day out. This jaw-droppingly beautiful island, inhabited by monks, dates back to the 6th century and boasts a lighthouse, monastery, and even a chocolate factory.
Tenby is one of the best holiday spots in Pembrokeshire to savour local food and drink, catering to every taste and budget. From traditional ice-cream parlours to Welsh cockles, small-plate restaurants, and gastropubs, foodies will find no shortage of culinary delights. And if you have children in tow, there are plenty of family-friendly options. In terms of beverages, you’ll discover everything from upmarket wine bars to cosy pubs. We recommend a visit to Harbwr Brewery, a microbrewery and taproom situated in an 18th-century warehouse.
