Barafundle Bay beach is a great dog-friendly beach, sheltered golden sand nestled between limestone headlands backed by dunes and woodland. The approach is part of the visit with woods, an arch, and steps down to the beach.

Owned by the National Trust, this is a good dog-friendly family beach with safe swimming, good sand for traditional games and woodlands to explore.

Barafundle has been voted many times as one of the best beaches in Britain, but regardless, it should be on your visit list when visiting Pembrokeshire, where you can then make up your mind.

Access only by foot but well worth the 10-minute walk along the cliffs from the car park at Stackpole Quay, which is where you have toilets and a dog-friendly cafe.
