Manorbier Beach is a sandy beach, approximately 165 metres in length, surrounded by cliffs and dunes, and is situated in a picturesque village. The beach faces south east into the Atlantic and is sheltered by limestone cliffs, with the 12th century Manorbier Castle overlooking the area. A spring-fed stream flows onto the middle of the beach, where it meets the sea. The beach is popular with surfers due to a reef just offshore, and the coastal waters and coastal belt are designated as the Pembrokeshire Marine Special Area of Conservation.
The beach offers a range of activities, including swimming, surfing, canoeing, and angling. At low tide, rock pooling is also a popular pastime. The beach is surrounded by dramatic landscapes, making it a popular spot for walkers, and a portion of the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path runs from Manorbier to Tenby. Visitors can also explore the 12th Century Church of St. James, the medieval Manorbier Castle, and the King’s Quoit, a Neolithic chambered tomb.
Access to the beach is via a narrow road, with parking and public toilets available nearby. However, the parking area can fill up quickly during peak season. The village of Manorbier offers a range of amenities, including a café, a local shop, and castle tours. Dogs are welcome on the beach all year round.
Visitors are advised to be cautious when swimming at Manorbier Beach, as there are strong currents and no lifeguards on duty. The beach can also get crowded in the summer, so it is recommended to arrive early if planning to participate in water sports or activities.
Manorbier Beach is adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
