ATTRACTIONS
|
|
MONKSTONE BEACH |
 |
|
One of our great assets is the gorgeous
Monkstone beach.
Monkstone is only a 10 minute walk from Trevayne down a cliff path
with steps all the way. Bass and mackerel fishing are
especially good at high tide here. |
|
At low
tide a large sandy beach is created - a wonderful setting for games,
sand castles and sunbathing. The warm waters carried by the Gulf
Stream boost temperatures so it’s perfect for bathing. Monkstone's
seclusion provides a lovely alternative to the busier beaches at
Saundersfoot and Tenby.
In May 1970 Welsh television personality,
Wynford Vaughan Thomas, officially opened the Pembrokeshire Coast
Path at a ceremony at Monkstone. |

WALKING |
|
|
|
|
The 186 mile Pembrokeshire
Coast Path runs across the park’s boundaries, providing
challenging treks, including 35,000 feet of ascent and descent.
Efforts are justly rewarded by the outstanding shoreline and pastoral
scenery. The differing wildlife and landscapes around the coast make
it a fascinating area to explore.
For those who prefer gentler routes, there are many walks around
the immediate area or in neighbouring woodland. Please enquire at
reception.
