Skrinkle Haven beach sits between Old Castle Head and Lydstep Point and is located to the south-east of pretty Manorbier Village. The beach is a small rocky bay enclosed by high cliffs, with a wide expanse of soft golden sand exposed at low tide.
Access to the beach is via steep steps, which may be challenging for some visitors. Alternatively, there is a picturesque picnic site at the top of the pathway that allows visitors to take in the views over the bay. There are no facilities at the beach, and the nearest parking is at the Manorbier Youth Hostel close by.
The beach is an area of important geological interest due to the limestone and red sandstone cliffs, which have created signature caves, blowholes, and chasms along the coastline. The area is also home to a wealth of local wildlife, making it a great destination for nature enthusiasts.
Around the headland on the east side of the beach, visitors can find the pretty Church Doors beach, which consists of a cove with several caves in the form of arches that resemble church doors. Although the two beaches are separated by a small limestone headland, it is possible to walk from one to the other when the tide is out.
Visitors should be aware that the beach was inaccessible for many years due to its proximity to the Royal Artillery Range, although military operations no longer take place. Additionally, when walking between Skrinkle Haven and Church Doors beach, visitors should be cautious of the incoming tide, as it is easy to get cut off.
Skrinkle Haven Beach is dog-friendly, and if visitors are walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, it takes a slight inland detour around the army facility behind the beach.
