Dog-Friendly Pembrokeshire: Beaches, Coastal Walks and Adventures

Where's the best place to take my dog while on holiday?

Because the best holidays are often the ones where everyone gets to come along.

For many of us, a holiday simply wouldn’t be the same without our dogs. Pembrokeshire’s coast, countryside and welcoming villages make it a rewarding place to explore together. A little planning helps you make the most of your stay.

Dog-Friendly Beaches to Discover

Wisemans Bridge is a favourite for coastal walks, with rocky shoreline and old railway paths nearby. Freshwater East offers a spacious sandy bay, while Broad Haven South combines beach scenery with the natural beauty of the Bosherston area. Amroth is lovely for a stroll, but seasonal restrictions apply to parts of its beach. Always follow signs and the latest official maps.

Can Dogs Go on Tenby and Saundersfoot Beaches?

Rules vary by beach and season. Tenby North Beach has seasonal dog restrictions between 1 May and 30 September. Designated areas of Tenby South Beach and Saundersfoot also have restrictions, while Coppet Hall has its own area- and time-specific rules. Check the official Pembrokeshire beach maps before visiting rather than relying on a general rule for an entire beach.

Three Wonderful Walks with Your Dog

Saundersfoot to Wisemans Bridge follows the old railway corridor and passes historic tunnels; check current access. Around Amroth, you can enjoy coastal scenery and nearby countryside, choosing a route suited to your dog’s fitness. At Bosherston, the Lily Ponds and Broad Haven South offer a beautiful combination of lakes, wildlife and coast. Keep dogs close around livestock and sensitive habitats.

A Café Stop Along the Way

Tenby, Saundersfoot, Amroth and Wisemans Bridge all offer places to pause after a walk. Dog policies can change between indoor dining rooms and outdoor terraces, so contact the venue before visiting.

Five Essentials for a Happy Dog-Friendly Break

Check beach restrictions; watch the tides; carry fresh water; respect wildlife and livestock; and bring towels, waste bags and a comfortable place for your dog to rest. Spring and autumn are especially enjoyable for quieter walks, though conditions can change quickly.

Make Watermeadows Your Base

Spend the day discovering Pembrokeshire’s beautiful coastline, then return to the peace of the countryside. Watermeadows Retreat is a lovely base for exploring Tenby and Saundersfoot. Please contact us to confirm which accommodation options can welcome your four-legged companion and any applicable conditions.
