South Beach is Tenby’s longest — a broad sweep of pale sand running south from the town towards Giltar Point, with Caldey Island offshore. Backed by dunes at its far end, it has far more room than the harbour beaches on a busy day. Penally station sits just behind the southern end, about 1km from the sand.
