Introducing Tenby (Dinbych Y Pysgod)
With its pastel-painted Georgian houses, picturesque boat-crowded harbour and long sandy beaches, Tenby is a typical bucket-and-spade, ice-cream-and-candy-floss seaside resort.

The town has avoided being taken over by either amusement arcades or terminal tweeness, although in summer its population swells massively. On summer weekends it can get pretty lively, with the pubs spilling over with boisterous, beery lads wolf-whistling at gangs of girls out on hens nights, while out of season it reverts to a sedate resort full of retired couples walking the dog on the beach.
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs through Tenby and, as the biggest town in the national park, it’s a major stopover for walkers.
