Tenby Harbour

Compact tidal harbour ringed by pastel Georgian houses

Tenby's harbour is the postcard view: a curving stone quay below pastel-painted Georgian and Victorian terraces, with fishing boats and pleasure craft leaning over when the tide is out. It empties dramatically twice a day, leaving the boats on the mud and a sandy beach exposed at the foot of the harbour walls.

Most of the boat trips to Caldey Island and around the coast leave from here in season, along with mackerel-fishing trips and tours of the lifeboat station. The pubs and seafood places on the quayside are touristy but unmissable for an evening drink with the view.
