This picturesque seaside village on the Pembrokeshire coast is packed with things to see and do — whether you’re after a relaxing beach day, a scenic walk, or a bite to eat with a view. Here are our top five favourite things to do while you’re here.

Relax on Saundersfoot Beach

The main beach at Saundersfoot is one of the highlights of the area. With its wide stretch of golden sand, safe swimming waters, and stunning views, it’s the perfect spot for families, couples, and solo adventurers alike. At low tide, there’s plenty of space for beach games or a leisurely stroll along the shore. During the summer months, the beach is lifeguarded, making it ideal for a worry-free swim.

Explore the Local Pubs and Cafés

After a day at the beach or out walking, there’s nothing better than settling into one of Saundersfoot’s cosy pubs. You’ll find traditional Welsh hospitality, local ales, and plenty of character. Whether it’s a pint in a sea-view beer garden or a warm meal in a country-style pub, there’s a welcoming spot for everyone. Many of the local pubs are dog-friendly too, so you can bring your four-legged companion along.

Dine in Style at Coastal Restaurants

Saundersfoot has gained a growing reputation for its food scene. From fresh seafood to locally sourced fine dining, the village offers a variety of restaurants and bistros to suit all tastes. Try one of the harbour-side eateries for fresh fish and panoramic views, or book a table at a tucked-away spot for a romantic evening out. There’s a great mix of traditional dishes and modern Welsh cuisine, with options for all dietary needs.

Walk the Coast Path

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs right through Saundersfoot, offering some of the best coastal walking routes in Wales. Head east towards Wiseman’s Bridge and Amroth for a relatively gentle, scenic route, or west towards Tenby if you’re up for more of a challenge. The views are breathtaking, and you’ll often spot local wildlife along the way. Don’t forget your camera — this stretch of coastline is a photographer’s dream.

Discover Local Events and Hidden Gems

Depending on the time of year, you might catch a local food festival, market, or live music event in the village. Saundersfoot also has a number of independent shops, galleries, and hidden spots waiting to be explored. Whether it’s browsing handmade crafts or sampling Welsh ice cream by the harbour, there are plenty of ways to soak up the charm of this coastal gem.

Whether it’s your first time visiting or your fifth, Saundersfoot always has something new to discover. These five highlights are just the beginning — and the best part is, they’re all right on the doorstep when you stay at Bonville’s Court Country Park.
