Tenby South Beach — Local services in Tenby

Recently visited Tenby having last visited the place some 56years ago in a 1953 Ford Anglia. The place has not changed a great deal other than the prices are a lot more. The 3 Beaches North, South and Castle are immaculate, the streets free of litter with local cottages and businesses painting the buildings in pastel colours and obviously taking a pride in their premises. I’m not a “ doggy” person but every other person i passed seem to have 1 , 2 or 3 dogs some even pushing them around in prams. Parking is at a premium and if found expensive, food and drink can be found in the numerous eateries but can be above what is normal cost. I noticed the absence of street beggars and at the same time the obvious absence of police officers. I noticed on my day of leaving the grand opening of a larger than life “Greggs” probably to replace the smaller, well attended shop lower down the street I really enjoyed my second visit, made better by the great guest house we stayed at ( with free secure parking,). it is a relaxing place and well worth the 200+ mile journey to get there. It seemed with the Sun, sand and sea the numerous kids were having a time of there life, the joys of youth. A great place to visit but sadly probably my last,...

What the Sea Left Behind

I arrived in Tenby with a head full of noise. On paper, everything in life was falling into place, but inside, I felt adrift—thoughts overlapping, questions without answers. I walked alone along the beach, the cold wind against my face, my feet sinking into the wet sand with each step. The sea stretched endlessly ahead, calm and indifferent.

Somewhere in that quiet, something shifted. The sand clung to my soles, then slipped away—just like moments, just like people. I realized: all things pass, and none of us can hold on to anything, no matter how tightly we try. The sea doesn’t cling to the shore, and yet it returns, over and over. Maybe that’s enough.

The world doesn’t always give answers. But sometimes, it gives space—space to breathe, to let go, to begin again. And in that moment, the clutter in my mind softened. The weight I carried didn’t vanish, but it felt lighter. As if the sea had taken a little of it with every wave.

DOG OWNERS, BE AWARE! The dog restricted areas on the beach are intentionally not clear therefore many dog owners accidently walk onto a dog restricted area and are fined immediately without warning. I recieved information from the lifeguards on the beach that Pembrokeshire council are purposely making the dog restricted areas unclear so they can fine unknowing tourists. The people that fine you, receive a commission on every fine they hand out therefore they wait and watch innocent tourists to walk 100 yards into the dog restricted area and then confront them in an intimidating manner. They were even handing out fines to elderly couples with dogs. When disputing the fine, Pembrokeshire did not acknowledge the information I sent to them as I even had a voice recording of the lifeguard exposing Pembrokeshire Council as trying to purposely extort money and targeting unknowing tourists through unclear signs and...
