Broad Haven South - Added to Beaches and Seaside Resorts in Wales

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

Parking: 51.606474, -4.924674
TOAL: 51.606807, -4.922346

A wide sandy bay backed by dunes that lead from The National Trust owned Bosherston Lakes. This beach has masses of soft sand at low tide ensuring enough space for everyone.

Access from the car park above the beach at its southern end is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs due to the number of steep steps down the cliff. The National Trust has a guide of recommended routes to allow access for accompanied tramper, assisted wheelchairs and pushchairs. Download a copy here.

Please be aware that the sea of Broad Haven South has strong currents.

Explore the boulders and ‘island’ on the west side to discover caves and springs gushing out of the cliffs. The convoluted low cliffs on the east side have a few small caves at low tide.

The clean stream emptying out of the lily ponds runs along this side and is perfect for small children to play in. There’s also a good rock for jumping off at high tide.

If you’re planning to visit, check out the tide times to make sure you’ve plenty of beach to play on and that you don’t get cut off by the incoming tide.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 27/08/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

That whole area is fantastic scenery-wise, though a lot of it is NT. Check out St Govan’s Chapel, walking distance from this spot if you’re down there. Stackpole Inn in Stackpole village does superb food at not stupidly expensive prices, and is v. friendly, as is the St Govan’s Inn in Bosherton Village, food ok and cheaper, basic pub fare. If you’re lucky you’ll catch sight of otters at the Lily Ponds.

Walk along the Coast Path eastwards to Stackpole Head and Barafundle beach, which keeps winning awards, or in the other direction, to Elegug Stacks and the ‘Green Bridge of Wales’ (gives Durdle Door a run for it’s money), but you need to check that the Castlemartin army range is not in use, because access is closed when it is!

Great food at both, dog friendly and provide bowls of water in the beer gardens.

Stackpole Inn has won loads of awards over the years. Here’s the daily and Sunday menus.

St Govans Inn menus; daily and Sunday menus.

I’ve been to both pubs dozens of times, as the family home is only a few miles away.
