Tenby, South Wales - an excellent beach resort

.... I never thought of holidaying in South Wales would be so good.

Four of us went down after work on a Thursday and spent the long Bank Holiday weekend there. Our cottage was in a great location just off of South Beach.

Here is a photo of the harbour. Looking overcast - but all four days were brilliant sunshine and hot!

Tenby is so famous it has a Wiki entry ! On the Saturday three of us went out on jet bikes. It was a safari tour around an off shore island. It was a great opportunity to test these powerful machines, oh and see some seals !


And not to be left our - 'little monkey' saw some beach action too!


When you need a barbeque you need the right tools - Steve flirting with the sun with his favoured method of transport!


Aswell as the beach we went on some great walks down the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, and we had lunch one day on top of Giltar points (not sure of the spelling). From this vantage point we could see the island with the monestry, passing boats, jetbikers and rock climbers; plus a fair few walkers. We were more content with drinking wine and relaxing.


But no beach holiday would be complete with out a beach fire.



I was really impressed with Tenby. The beach was clean, big and space available. The people lovely and not full of tourists. Reasonably priced and everything was walkable. The pedestrianised town centre made it all the better.

Bring on Wales.
