4 Frustrating

We arrived at Broad haven south car park to find the machine was not accepting payments cash or card.There was a dozen or so others in the same situation and as we had one bar one our phone asked locally for advice. We were told it happens all The time and not to worry . Having come a long way with the mother in law looking for a break from a very stressful time we went on to the beach I left my wife and mother in law at a local Italian restaurant (can recommend it) and went to check on the parking situation and found they had filled the machine and given us a ticket. Perhaps it is bad management of the council that is earning them such high income in questionable fines!. To finish on calling the help number even the council mentioned it happens all the time...??

This beach is fantastic and has gray sand. It is more developed than other local beaches, which means there are plenty of facilities nearby, including some great food and drink options that are just a short walk away. However, it can get busy, especially during high tide, so it's important to plan ahead. While car parking can be very close, it can fill up quickly, which may result in a longer walk. Nevertheless, the sand is lovely and the water is clear, making it an excellent destination to visit.

This particular beach in Pembrokeshire is undoubtedly one of the finest in the area. It should not be mistaken for Broadhaven South beach, which is located near Barafundle, especially for those who are visiting for the first time. The regulars, on the other hand, are well aware of its safety and the small waves that make it a perfect spot for various water activities such as SUPs, kayaking, bodyboarding, and longboard surfing. While some parts of the beach are dog-friendly, there are certain restrictions during the summer months.

This beach is absolutely breathtaking and offers an abundance of activities suitable for all ages. On a tranquil day, you can go rockpooling or snorkeling, while kayaking, climbing, paddle boarding, surfing, and bodyboarding are perfect for more adventurous days. There are endless opportunities for excitement here. Our love for this beach is immeasurable, and the amenities are top-notch, including clean restrooms, delectable ice cream, and, most importantly, mouth-watering fish and chips.
