Saundersfoot

A seaside village 5 km north of Tenby, with a long beach and small harbour. A coast path through an old mining tramway tunnel makes it possible to walk to and from Tenby.

Saundersfoot was once a coal export port in the 19th century and is now a popular family holiday resort in southern Pembrokeshire. It has a wide main beach, a small harbour and seaside restaurants, and fishing and sightseeing boats often gather at the quay. To the north, the old tramway tunnel near Wiseman's Bridge leads to Amroth. To the south, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path takes about 2–3 hours to reach Tenby, making it one of the most popular sections of the trail. Every New Year's Day, thousands of people take part in the New Year's Day Swim. From Tenby, you can take a bus or train (Saundersfoot station is about 2 km from the village), and the journey takes about 15 minutes.
