The location of attractions is intended only as a guide. Distances are 'as the crow flies'.
Nearest pub
A traditional pub, only a mile away from the sea and with a great outside area for al fresco dining. Dogs are made very welcome and a takeaway menu is available on certain days of the week. Give them a ring for further details.
Nearest beach
Sometimes known as Aberdraw, this small cove is so tucked away it is often not marked on maps. At low tide there's a small sand and shingle beach, perfect for rock pooling. The surrounding tall cliffs offer shelter from the wind and make this the perfect sun trap in summer. Look out for the little island and stone arch but do be aware of strong currents out to sea. It's best to park in the village and walk to the beach where dogs are allowed year round.
Nearest walk
This picturesque coastal walk takes in the path along the coast from Abereiddi and then inland from Porthgain through pretty countryside. Passing the iconic Blue Lagoon, pretty Porthgain Harbour and dramatic cliffs, this walk is a must. Thanks to our friends at the National Trust you can follow their map where the walk starts at Porthgain but as it's circular you can pick it up at any point.
Nearest town
A charming village with an attractive harbour. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was a flourishing seaport exporting slate and shale. Now it is a quaint harbour occupied by small fishing boats. Don't miss the opportunity to buy crab fresh off the boat when the fishermen return. Have dinner in - or outside at Sloop Inn, and enjoy some of the finest Fish and Chips at the Shed where locally caught crab and lobster are also served.

Delightful visit
Charming harbour and a lovely walk. Unfortunately we didn’t check opening times of the Shed so we never managed to find it open to try the fish and chips. Lovely art gallery there. Beautiful site for a sunset photo.
Also nearby
With an emphasis on fresh local fish, there is always a meat and vegetarian option available. There's a relaxed atmosphere and this is the ideal place to go for fish and chips. It's adviseable to check opening times as this does vary throughout the year.

Great fish
The fish and chips were excellent, as was the coffee and the service. Very welcome after a walk along the coastal path.
Would definitely recommend.
A takeaway cafe and shop, selling local produce, high end craft, sandwiches and excellent coffee. They even have an aquarium so you can take home the live catch of the day.

Warm welcome
We loved this pub which was always welcoming and the food was good.
To the north of the Dale Peninsula is St Bride's Bay. Broad Haven (north) beach, at the back of the bay is a Blue Flag beach, popular for both water sport enthusiasts and families. It's a large safe, sandy beach with rockpools. There are good pubs, cafes and a well-stocked beach shop. Haven Water Sports offer hire facilities for wet suits, surfboards, body boards and kayaks. Dog restrictions apply from May to September.

Lovely beach
Lovely for easy access walking and car parking nearby. Also good facilities - toilets, cafes, icecream etc. "Sunshine Italian" restaurant highly recommended - great food and service.

Off the Hook.
Great beach for families. A walk away from Little Haven at low tide. Fish and chips from Off the Hook a must, even if that’s the only reason you visit Broad Haven for.
With delightful views over surrounding countryside, this traditional inn is a great place for outside al fresco dining. In winter months you'll find a roaring log fire to keep you toasty. Food is traditional and hearty, the pie is recommended.
