Season: autumn
In many ways Barafundle Bay is the quintessential Pembrokeshire beach, often voted among the best beaches in the country. The price for this fame is a large influx of visitors in the summer, so other times of the year provide a clearer picture of how this beach was in times gone by. There is plenty of room here in summer, though. As part of the Stackpole Estate and being well managed by The National Trust, it’s the point at which the limestone carboniferous cliffs in the south west change to the desert sandstone of the Devonian period in the north east.
Unsurpassed beauty at Barafundle Bay.
