If you don’t mind putting in a little effort to reach it, Swanlake Bay is a beautiful spot to discover near Manorbier.

The beach is accessible on foot via the Pembrokeshire Coast Path or a public footpath, with no roadside parking. The nearest parking is at Manorbier or Freshwater East, both roughly 1.5 miles from the beach.

Swanlake Bay is mainly a shingle beach, but when the tide goes out it reveals golden sands and rock pools beneath low cliffs. Even at the height of summer, Visit Pembrokeshire says you could be one of only a handful of visitors.

There are no facilities at the beach, so you’ll want to come prepared. It’s also important to check the tide times before visiting, as the incoming tide can cut you off.

A little harder to reach than some of Pembrokeshire’s better-known beaches, but that’s all part of the appeal. 💙

Seal pupping season 🦭

Grey Seals can be seen at sea and along the coast of Wales all year round. Between August and November each year they come ashore to give birth and raise their pups. Female seals – cows- give birth to white, fluffy seal pups on beaches along our coast.

You might spot seal pups alone on Welsh beaches.

This isn’t unusual and doesn’t mean the pup has been abandoned. The mothers return to the sea for short foraging trips, but will keep an eye on their pup and return regularly to feed them.

Responsible seal watching is critical to keep them safe. ⬇️

- Keep your distance. Watch seals from at least 100m away. Seals can be spotted from the Coast Path with binoculars, to enjoy but not disturb them.
- Keep all dogs on a lead and away from seals.
- Do not make loud noises or fast movements that might disturb or frighten them, eg. running nearby.
- Move on after 10 minutes of watching.
- Do not get between the adult seal and their pup. Females often rest in the water just offshore from their pup.
- Never chase them into the water.

If you see a seal in distress or injured, contact the British Divers Marine Life Rescue on 01825 765546.

Historians believed past excavations had emptied Wogan Cavern. But unlike many similar caves in Britain, its sediments remain largely intact, prompting a new five-year excavation beneath Pembroke Castle. So far, archaeologists have uncovered evidence that suggests Britain was once semi-tropical, and what they uncover next could influence what we know about its earliest inhabitants.
