Whitesands is located on the most westerly tip of South Wales. There's plenty to do and visit in the local area: Whitesands is 2 miles from St Davids, with its famous Cathedral, craft shops and souvenir stalls. Along the coast path from Whitesands you can walk to Porthsele Beach, St Justinian's Lifeboat Station overlooking Ramsey Sound and then on to Porthclais Harbour. Or in the opposite direction the coast path takes you to past Trwyn Hwrddyn (Ram's Nose Headland, shown in the photo), to Porth Melgan beach and St David's Head. Another option is to climb Garn Llidi mountain, set behind the beach, which affords wonderful views of the local area, including distant views of Southwest Ireland on a clear day.

About Whitesands
Whitesands Beach is a couple of miles from St Davids City on the west coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales.
It is overlooked by the craggy hill of Garn Llidi, with St Davids Head to the north west, and looks out across the sea to Ramsey Island.
Whitesands is one of the best surfing beaches in Wales.
Pitch up alongside Whitesands Beach, and view the surf from the comfort of your tent; go for a swim when the tide is just right; explore the rock pools below you; and experience the magic of a Whitesands sunset.
Look out across Whitesands Beach and Ramsey Island from Whitesands Cottages on the slopes of Garn Llidi, while having a BBQ or just relaxing with a glass of wine!
