Whitesands is an amazing beach in St David’s with, unsurprisingly, white sands. One of the best surf spots in the world and a great place to people-watch! You can walk out to the headland or up to the craggy hill of Carn Llidi. I would definitely recommend watching the sunset from here.

Hiking

Huge beach at low tide, great waves, lifeguard service, facilities - recommended!
Please note: Dogs are not allowed on the beach. A bay further on, about a 15-minute walk towards St David's Head, your four-legged friends are also allowed to go to the water.

Hiking

A great place to watch a summer's evening setting sun. A nice clean sandy beach and a great place to walk from. There's a cafe in the car park which is good for basic food and drinks. Also of note, there is an outside tap by the toilet block which is useful for topping up on those long coast path walks.
