Go barefoot on Presipe Beach, Pembrokeshire

Picnic on the beach on the Gower Peninsula

Presipe Beach

Who needs the Caribbean when you’ve got beaches as stunning as the ones on the Pembrokeshire coast? Ok, so maybe the weather’s not always as good but you can’t beat the beauty of Presipe near Tenby. Large crags of red rock jut out towards the sea to form secluded coves. You’ll most likely have the beach to yourself.
