Tenby (Wales)

Advantages: scenic, lovely beaches, attractions for all the family
Disadvantages: competitive urination isn't my thing

...to explain why. We visited Tenby for the first time on the Saturday evening. We parked in the car park (the main car park next to South Beach is £2 per day), and walked down to the steps (access to the beaches is either by steps or walkways, they aren't at road level). I was just about to take Eleanor down a set of steps when I noticed a man standing there relieving himself of excess bodily fluid quite brazenly and in the middle of the steps! Needless ...
...Well, off the coast of Tenby is Caldey island, which has a monastery and a lovely beach. Boat trips are regular, but the return trip (40 minutes) won't give you much change out of £20 for a family of four. There are other trips, seal watching or just cruising around the bay. Nearby are some lovely beaches. If you want slightly touristy, there is Saundersfoot, which is a village 3 miles to the north. Again this has a lovely beach and all the amenities ... Read review

Advantages: Mild climate, Unspoilt, Good beaches, lots to do, pubs and restaurants, family friendly.
Disadvantages: Bit secluded, weather can spoil if your unlucky

Tenby is one my favourite seaside resorts that I have visited in the U.K. I first went there as a teenager and enjoyed many days there and recently re-discovered it ten years later. It is very popular and has become a bit of a haven for youngsters but it has lost none of it's charmful appeal. ~Location~ Tenby lies in Pembrokeshire which is a naturally beautiful area of the U.K. Pembrokeshire is still undiscovered compared to other areas and appears ...
...A478 from Cardigan are alternatives. Tenby has a train station with a direct route into Paddington, London and a bustling Bus service too. ~History~ Tenby had always been a fishing village in the Camarthen Bay until the Norman conquerors in the thirteenth century established Tenby as a Welsh out-post. The Welsh Princes took offence and ransacked Tenby several times which led to the town being fortified by strong walls, much of which have lasted ... Read review

Advantages: A good variety of activities, lovely scenery.
Disadvantages: None, although perhaps a long drive for those not close to the M4 motorway

Tenby in Pembrokeshire is a bustling holiday town, plenty of shops for those who need a bit of retail therapy, plenty of pubs and eating places at prices to suit every pocket. As a bonus, Tenby is a seriously scenic resort, with Blue Flag beaches, lots and lots of sand, and boat trips to Caldey Island or just around the bays nearby. We travelled from Shropshire, and the journey was around 165 miles, no motorway travelling involved, so it was literally ...
...guard, don’t get me wrong, Tenby is great for children, the beaches especially are clean and spacious, just watch the little darlings when walking near the cliff top walls. Food in local pubs is very good and priced reasonably; there are a couple of pricey eateries but most do meals starting at around the £4 -£5 mark. Down in the harbour you can purchase tickets for sea cruises or perhaps a trip across to Caldey Island. Caldey Island is very ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful
Disadvantages: Nope!

Tenby is one of those places that for years I only heard about, and alot of the stuff I heard really wasn't that great. However, maybe the place had changed by the time I got round to going there, but I loved it! Tenby is situated in Pembrokeshire on the West Coast of Wales, near to Saundersfoot, and a stones throw away from Oakwood theme park. Pembrokeshire is one of few areas which I would not reccommend going to without the use of the car. This ...
...that meets the eye. Tenby itself is a lovely little coastal town, with a couple of gorgeaous golden beaches, which always seem to be relatively clean despite being so close to the oil refinery at Milford Haven. The town itself is not somewhere I would recommend to go shopping for the day, although it has alot of nice little souvenir shops aswell as your usual sea side tack. There is also a woolworths and a few other mainstream shops if you need ... Read review

Advantages: Loads to do!
Disadvantages: None!

I have been going to Tenby and the surrounding areas with my family every year since I was about 6 months old and I even took my first steps in our old caravan down there! From Birmingham it can take about 3 and half to 4 hours to drive there, but it is well worth the drive! hey I even driven there first thing in the morning just to spend the day there and drive home in the evening! Tenby itself is one of the main big towns in Pembrokeshire, it ...
...these places as well as Tenby as they all help make it the beautiful place it is.

In Tenby there are 2 beaches, North Beach and South Beach. Both are very big and have ammusements. South Beach offers boat trips to ... Read review
