Tenby is one of Wales’ favourite seaside towns with glorious beaches, a warm atmosphere and fine Victorian houses. For a true Tenby experience, you have to visit Tenby Harbour - a small and friendly harbour where you can enjoy a spot of fishing, take a boat trip out to the nearby Caldey Island, relax and unwind on the fantastic beach or simply sit and people watch.

A Weekend in Tenby

Action and Excitement – There are many places for those looking for a faster paced day, such as Heatherton World of Activities. Archery, Escape Rooms, a Zip Wire and much more – these activities are not just for kids as there are plenty of adult activities so the whole family can take part. If this is not enough then Oakwood Theme Park with rollercoasters such as Megaphobia and Speed will get your adrenaline pumping.

Seal Safari and Island Cruise Boat Trips are the best way to see Tenby’s coastline, and experience its wildlife too. Mackerel fishing trips are available and seals watching trips too – keep your eyes open as you may see some pups too. Visit the stunning Caldey Island from Tenby harbour and explore the shops, find gifts and even taste some homemade chocolate and fudge.

St Catherine’s Island is one island that you can access by foot. It may be small but is filled with history – it is home to a Palmerston fort and a WW2 Anti-aircraft gun placement. St Catherine’s island is accessible from Castle Beach when the tide is out but be careful coming back as you don’t want to get stuck there.
