The beach is approximately 1 km across, facing west out to the Atlantic Ocean and lies in front of sand dunes and marsh land.

This beach picks up the strongest Atlantic swells and as a consequence is extremely popular with surfers.

The bathing water lies within the Pembrokeshire Marine Special Area of Conservation and the surrounding area forms part of the Limestone Coast of South West Wales and Castlemartin Corse Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The bathing water is also located within Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, further highlighting the environmental value of the area.
