A trail to a hidden beach oasis: Barafundle Bay, Wales

Heading out from the truly amazing town of Tenby, the weather was looking a bit iffy in St. Davids, my ultimate destination for the day. Perfect. This opened up the excuse I needed to explore Barafundle Bay — a sight I had seen many times in my Wales YouTube research.

Barafundle Bay, only accessible by a half mile trail, is one of the most photographed sections of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in Wales.

The walk along the way to Barafundle shows the drastic and rocky coastline before ultimately opening up to the amazing inlet and beach, sitting about 100 feet down from the clifftop.

It’s a beautiful and unexpected hideout and the trail provides great viewpoints all along the way.

The color of the sand and the clear water here draw comparisons to tropical locations.

On the way in and out of the start point of the hike, there is fun little cafe! Photos of that coming soon, right cmart?
