Newgale Beach
Newgale Pembrokeshire
One of the longest beaches in Wales, the two-mile sweep of Newgale is about 10 minutes drive from St David’s, and is popular with families, dogs (restrictions in summer), surfers, kitesurfers, and just about everyone else who knows a top beach when they see one. Despite this, you can still get away from the crowds if you’re prepared to walk a little. And in case you’re wondering, the huge pebble bank above the beach was thrown there by a mighty storm in 1859.
