Porthmelgan beach is a ravishing location in Pembrokeshire.

Based next to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in St Davids, the beach is surrounded by cliffs and strong currents.

At low tide the beach consists of a small sandy cove, yet visitors should check tide times to avoid getting cut off by the incoming tide.
