Barafundle Bay
Bae Barafundle
A secluded sandy bay reachable only on foot, with golden sand, pine woodland, and emerald water. It is regularly named one of the most beautiful beaches in Britain.
Barafundle Bay lies on the Stackpole Estate coast, framed by limestone cliffs and pine trees. Fine golden sand meets clear blue-green water, and it is often rated as one of the most beautiful beaches in Britain and Europe. No road leads directly to it. From the National Trust car park at Stackpole Quay, follow the coastal path for about 800 meters, then go down the stone steps to the beach. You can also approach from the direction of the Bosherston lily ponds. The beach has no facilities, so bring your own water and food. The sea is cold, and there are no lifeguards. The Boathouse tearoom beside the quay is a good place to get supplies. On summer weekends, arrive early to get parking, and take your rubbish with you.
