Barafundle Bay Beach

Often ranked among Britain's most beautiful beaches, this pristine crescent of golden sand is accessible only by a scenic clifftop walk from Stackpole Quay, ensuring it remains relatively unspoiled despite its fame. The beach is backed by pine-covered dunes and surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs, creating a Mediterranean-like atmosphere that feels almost tropical on sunny days. With no facilities or development in sight, Barafundle offers pure natural beauty, crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, and the kind of tranquil atmosphere that makes the walk worthwhile.
