As well as the detailed description below, you can also take a Puffin Cottage Holidays YouTube walk around tour


Freshwater East is a wide sandy bay nestled along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Known for its golden sands, clear blue waters, and family-friendly atmosphere, sheltered by Trewent Point headland and backed by dunes and grassy cliffs it offers a picturesque setting for relaxation and activities.


The beach stretches 1 km at low tide, revealing expansive sand and rock pools, ideal for picnics, sandcastles, and beach games. A freshwater stream flows through the southern end, historically used by ships for supplies.


Freshwater East has received the Green Coast and Seaside Award 2019 – 2025 for environmental quality. Also a part of the Marine Special Area of Conservation with occasional seal sightings, and ponies grazing in the dunes during the winter months. The beach is popular for kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming. Experienced surfers visit in the winter.


Stop by the nearby Freshwater Inn for a pint, or just steps away en-route to Freshwater East beach try a tasty bite to eat at Jacks at the Longhouse. Walks along the coast path take you to east to Swanlake and Manorbier and west to Stackpole Key and Barafundle Bay.
