The Sunday Times rated Castle Beach the best beach in Britain in 2019, and it’s an easy one to like — a sandy cove tucked between Castle Hill and the East Cliff right in the middle of Tenby, with the harbour and the Caldey boats close at hand. Rock pools open up as the tide drops. Tenby station is under a kilometre away.
