Wiseman's Bridge BeachJust a short drive is this all year pet friendly natural beach. This is the ideal family playground, with rocks to clamber over and pools left by the receding tide to fish in. The remains of a 5000 year old forest can still be found in the stream that flows down to the sea. Rehearsals for the D-Day Landings were held on the beach and Churchill himself dined at the Wisemans Bridge Inn overlooking the beach which still serves excellent food and drink. It was used for the training of the troops because of its likeness to the fabulous Normandy beaches,so a taste of western France in Wales. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path (part of the All Wales Path) runs through the Bay with glorious walks to South Pembrokeshire's beautiful beaches - Saundersfoot, Amroth and the Jewel of Pembrokeshire, Georgian Tenby. Wiseman's Bridge is linked to Saundersfoot by an old 'dramway' once used to carry coal to Saundersfoot Harbour. Recently resurfaced this is an ideal off road cycle route that passes through 3 old railway tunnels and also heads inland through Pleasant Valley. Saundersfoot VillagePretty, bustling Saundersfoot has 3 lovely beaches, harbour, shops, pubs, gallery, a wonderful old fashioned sweet shop, 'Chobbles', good sea food restaurants, and gifts shops including 'Walk on Water' for leisure wear and souvenirs. Luxury SpaIndulge yourself at the St Brides Hotel and Spa, a luxury hotel designed around the spectacular view over Saundersfoot Harbour and Carmarthen Bay. Amroth and Pembrokeshire Coast PathAmroth, the start (or end) of the 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, is a small seaside village with a beach (lots of Blue Flag awards), popular with families, that stretches the whole length of the village. It can be reached along the beach at low tide, passing old coal and iron workings, or on the cliff-top coast path which is also a cycle route. Amroth has a selection of places to eat as well as three pubs - the furthest marking the Pembrokeshire/Carmarthenshire border.

Shore Fishing at Freshwater West and East, Rock fishing off Monkston PointShore fishing from the rocks and beaches around Freshwater West and East is arguably some of the best in Wales. Remember to pack your fishing gear. Monkston Point is a good place to bag bass but take care not to get cut off by the tide. A 2 lb bass takes 30 minutes in a hot oven. Just lay on a bed of fresh herbs, sliced onions and seasoning in a buttered pan, pour over 1/2 pint of white wine. Cover and cook. Serve with the remaining white wine chilled.
