On a coastal walk from Stackpole Quay we came across this beautiful sandy beach nestled between steep cliffs. It is very popular with families even though it is a a 10 minute walk from the car park and down steep steps from the top of the cliff. Dogs are welcome here too. It was a hot day and many people...

I was a biology student in Cardiff College of Education when we took a fieldtrip to Barafundle Bay. We did not have a clue what to expect when we walked from Stackpole Quay to the Beach.It was a sunny day in May and the Beach was little known in those days as it is a off the beaten track.Our group...

This little treasure of a beach is about a 15/20 minute walk over the clifftop from Stackpole Quay and it is well worth the walk. The views are spectacular and the beach is spotlessly clean and clean , but cold, water. If going with a family you need to know there are no toilets or refreshments so you have to... More

Well worth the visit. The beach is about a 10mins picturesque walk and its worth walking beyond the beach as the views get better.

Pretty beach but I dont understand how it is 1 of the top 10 beaches in the world. You have to walk about 10 or so to the beach after parking car through fields etc. The beach is enclosued via cliffs and sand dunes. Water looked shallowish. It is pretty and sandy and dogs are allowed on beach so beaware... More

Very much worth the visit, Parking available at Stackpole Quay and walk along the headland to reach the beach, not a difficult walk but not suitable for anyone with a disability due to the steps down to the beach, visited in March so weather not the best, but would definitely return again in the summer and make base camp for...

Yes you have to walk. No, there are no facilities on the beach, but what a beach. It is never crowded and is always beautiful. Our daughter (10) alawys insists on going and we always have a great time. Highly recommended...
