About
Barafundle Bay beach is a great dog-friendly beach, with 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 dog-friendly family beach offers safe swimming, great sand for traditional games, and woodlands to explore.
Barafundle has been voted one of the best beaches in Britain many times, but it should still be on your list when visiting Pembrokeshire, so you can decide for yourself.
Dog Access and Rules
Barafundle Bay Beach allows dogs year-round with no seasonal restrictions. The coastal path is dog-friendly, and the National Trust manages the area, with dogs welcome throughout the Stackpole Estate grounds.

Access and Facilities
Access is only on foot, but the 15-minute walk along the cliffs from the Stackpole Quay car park is part of the trip and well worth it. The car park has toilets and a dog-friendly cafe.
