Barafundle Bay
Barafundle Bay is a sandy beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales, located at approximately 51.61849, -4.90284. It is described as an isolated, slightly curved beach facing east, near Stackpole Quay, in the community of Stackpole and Castlemartin. It is part of the Stackpole Estate, managed by the National Trust. Formerly owned by the Cawdor family of Stackpole Court, it features steps and a wall built to facilitate access to what was then a private beach. For today, the practical point is clear: sandy beach but isolated, not to be confused with an urban waterfront. Broad Haven South is 1.6 km away and Freshwater East is 4 km away.
About this spot
Barafundle Bay is worth a prepared outing to an isolated sandy beach in Pembrokeshire. The steps and the setting of Stackpole set the tone: choose it if access is part of the walk, with Broad Haven South as a nearby comparison.
