St. Ishmaels Beach is situated in a small bay enclosed by cliffs, overlooking the mouth of the Milford Haven Waterway. The beach can be accessed by walking down a coastal path or across fields from the village of St. Ishmaels. The walk is relatively easy but may be challenging for visitors with impaired mobility, and there is no disabled access.

The beach consists of a mix of sand and shingle, and is flanked by tall cliffs. It is a secluded spot, making it ideal for those looking for a quiet and peaceful experience. The beach is suitable for swimming, but not for water sports.

At low tide, visitors can explore the numerous rock formations and pools on the beach, which are home to a variety of marine life. This makes it an excellent spot for budding marine biologists or those interested in exploring the local wildlife.
