Barafundle Beach is, for me, the best beach in Wales - And I'm not the only one who thinks it's…read moreamazing - It was voted by the Times and the Good Holiday Guide as one of the top 10 beaches in the whole world. Barafundle is a sandy beach, surrounded by limestone cliffs - you therefore have to be prepared for a bit of a hike along the cliffs to get to the beach (about 1K) - not a difficult walk, but steep steps at both ends. You can park in the National Trust car park for a few quid. This whole estate (Stackpole) is National Trust, and therefore beautifully preserved - This obviously limits facilities. There are tea rooms in the car parks near the beach - but no facilities at all once you walk there. This is to the great benefit of the beach - it is truly natural and wonderful. The 'desert island' experience is well worth the walk. The water quality is fantastic - it is crystal clear. There are no rocks or dangerous currents - so bathing is very safe - Although you must be careful because there is no lifeguard cover here. This beach is perfect - See my Stackpole review for some more of the attractions at this National Trust site.

Swimming is prohibited however because of the tides and mud flats. There is an official car park and also another gravelly and grassy area where one can park for no charge.

The water is shallow and the beach is well looked after, so it's great for all the family for swimming, sunbathing or making sandcastles!

It's about a five minute walk from the car park and this path is wheelchair friendly too. There is a long grassy headland on either side of the beach and rocky cliff paths to explore. In fact, if you take the east one it will take you eight miles or so around to Tenby; great for hardened hikers - I only walked a small fraction of that route the other day! A short way along the cliff path on the same headland is a fascinating Neolithic burial chamber. The beach is overlooked by a large medieval castle which was the birthplace of Gerald of Wales. The whole area is great for walking or just sitting on the soft sand to hear the sea - which is apparently great for surfing too, so I'm told! The most amazing thing about this beach is the fact that it is seldom crowded even in good weather. Please see my photos which were taken last week on a gorgeous warm and sunny day at the end of June - there were only a handful of people there!

There's a little hut at the top selling beachy stuff and ice creams and things, along with toilets facilities. The steep steps to the beach are a bit daunting but didn't seem to stop anyone - in fact the beach was packed (this was summer time - just ignore the date of this review) but this didn't spoil it - a great holiday spot for all. Some of the breakers were a bit rough on the day, but these will vary. Excellent place, well worth the effort to find and get to.

We have friends in St Davids (just a few miles away) so have often combined visits to see them with walks around this lovely bay.
