Hotels in Tenby
Tenby is probably the prettiest seaside town in Wales, rivalling places like Mevagissey and Polperro for quaintness and charm. The original town of Tenby, called Dinbych y pysgod in Welsh or little town of fishes, was established by The Normans as a fortified town. Most of the old town walls remain, enclosing the medieval town behind them. The castle that defended Tenby was built on Castle Hill but only one small keep tower remains of that.
Tenby has 3 blue flag beaches, North beach faces east and is nicely sheltered is the prevailing south westerly wind is blowing. Castle beach faces south and also has high cliffs backing it, while south beach stretches uninterrupted for a mile to Giltar Point and is perfect for all sorts of beach games like volleyball. In between north beach and castle beach is the picturesque harbour, which also has a sandy beach. The harbour is clean so is a good place for toddlers.
Regular boat trips run from Tenby harbour to Caldey Island when the tide is in. When the tide is out, the harbour is dry, so a pontoon off castle beach is used. Caldey Island was designated as a conservation area by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in 1997. Fun boats and pedal boats can be hired from Tenby Marine at the harbour or mackerel fishing trips, paragliding trips and banana boats are available too.
The centre of Tenby is a maze of narrow little streets. The roads are pedestrianised during the day in summer when the bars and restaurants set up al fresco seating. There are plenty of interesting and quirky shops. There’s also the National Trust owned Tudor Merchants House and Tenby Museum and Art Gallery that you can visit. Tenby was designated as a conservation area by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in 1972.
