Where to find us on the beach
You’ll usually find our branded gazebo and flag next to the ramp leading from the car park onto the beach. Our team will be wearing branded clothing, or wetsuits and buoyancy aids while running sessions.
How to book
Most of our activities can be booked online in advance, which is the best way to secure your place. Our website accepts all major debit and credit cards.
If you’re planning ahead, we recommend booking in advance – but during our seasonal beach operation we can often take walk-up bookings too. Availability depends on the day’s schedule, weather and tides. We accept contactless payments by card or mobile phone, as well as cash payments.

About Tenby South Beach
Tenby South Beach is a two-kilometre long beach backed by sand dunes. A regular Blue Flag award winner for water quality, and watched over by RNLI lifeguards, it is popular for swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding. Facing Caldey Island, and with views towards St. Catherine’s Island, it has a more open, spacious feel than Tenby’s other beaches.
