Barafundle Bay earns its reputation as one of the best beaches in Britain and the world, often compared to a Caribbean paradise. This small bay, flanked by dunes and pine trees, requires a half-mile walk from the nearest car park, ensuring its pristine isolation. Visitors are greeted by swathes of golden sand and crystal-clear waters, creating a picturesque setting. However, the lack of facilities means that everything brought in must be carried back over the cliffs. For those planning a visit, checking tide times is crucial to ensure ample beach space and avoid being stranded by the incoming tide. Barafundle Bay stands as just one of the many captivating destinations to explore during a 48-hour stay in Pembroke.
