Abermawr is a picturesque beach located near Tenby, Wales, known for its golden sand and rock pools. The beach is surrounded by limestone cliffs and offers stunning views of the coastline. It's a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports, and its tranquil atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for those seeking relaxation.
A beautiful remote beach, pebbles and a bit of sand. No cafe so take a picnic and it's perfect. Lovely if you like peace and quiet and gorgeous scenery. Best thing no paying to park! A welcome change as prices are too much! Fields at the back and cows! I loved it and so did my daughter and dog.
Parking very restrictive. Beach quiet though, and saw a seal.
Absolutely stunning little beach, out of the way. Perfect for dogs. We went there on New Year's Day, so it was pretty quiet. I heard it can get busy in good weather with the surfers.
There are few breaks in the cliff ramparts of north Pembroke, this quiet secluded beach is one. The grey stone storm bank at the back of the beach holds back wild marsh, and in front the tidal sand reaches out to the sea.
Great little beach, dogs are allowed, even a nice little trail through the trees for the dog if it's too hot, parking can be difficult, it's by the cable hut, on the side of the road,but not that many cars/vans can fit,but it's free. On 27 July 1866 Abermawr became the eastern terminal of the Transatlantic telegraph cable when Brunel completed an ambitious scheme to lay a telegraph cable under the Atlantic Ocean. The cable was laid by Brunel's steam ship Great Eastern between Trinity Bay in Newfoundland and Valentia Island in Ireland. It then crossed Ireland via a landline before going under the Irish Sea at Wexford to re-emerge at Abermawr. Telegraph operators who were stationed in a corrugated iron hut would retransmit messages to London via the SWR and GWR telegraph wires, enabling the first ever telegraph communications between Britain and North America. A second cable was laid in 1880, this time however to Blackwater. Abermawr telegraph relay station continued in operation until 1922/3, when cables were damaged by a storm and Abermawr was abandoned. The hut still stands today and is in use as a private house.
