If you're seeking coastal beauty during your Pembrokeshire short break, then head to the popular town of Tenby, with its colourful, pastel-hued buildings lining the harbour and its stunning beaches, including North Beach and South Beach.

The walk then takes you to popular locations such as Barafundle Bay and Stockpole Quay before heading back.

Close by is also Saint Govan’s Chapel, a tiny cliff-side chapel overlooking the waves. There are steep steps down, but it is well worth a visit. Whether you’re hiking or relaxing by the sea, short breaks in Pembrokeshire offer plenty of unforgettable experiences.
