Timeline
10:30
Start at Whitesands Beach Cafe. It opens at 10:30 on weekdays and Saturdays, making it the perfect first stop for a hot drink and a light snack while the beach is still quiet.
11:10
Walk 10 minutes NNE to Porth Selau Beach. This smaller, sheltered cove offers a peaceful contrast to the main beach and provides a close-up view of the tide lines.
11:45
Head back towards the village to visit the St Davids Lifeboat Station. The boathouse displays tell the stories of rescues in these fast-flowing waters. A donation is appreciated.
