Tenby South Beach stretches for 1.6 miles along the coast, with soft sand dunes behind it. The beach is located between St Catherine's Island and the headland of Giltar Point. The area closest to the town of Tenby is the most popular part of the beach, but if you walk a little further to the eastern end you will find a less busy spot.
At low tide the beach joins Castle Beach to reveal a huge stretch of clean golden sand ideal for beach games and sand castles. At high tide there is still a large part of the beach left to enjoy. The sand here slopes gently into the sea, so swimming is safe and there are no rocks or deep ledges to avoid.

Walked from Lydstep Haven to Tenby South beach. Ascent and decent is quite rocky and uneven so appropriate footwear is a must
