Tenby is the postcard of Welsh seaside towns, and dogs get a fair deal here if you know the map. North Beach carries a restriction from May to September, and South Beach and Castle Beach are zoned over the same months, meaning part of the sand stays open to dogs even in summer. Waterwynch Bay, Penally and Glen Beach, all within a couple of miles, welcome dogs all year.
Which beaches near Tenby allow dogs all year?
That gives you a genuine summer option most resort towns cannot offer: zoned sand in town, and three year-round beaches a short walk or drive away. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs straight through, so the walking between them is part of the day rather than a chore.
Where can you eat with a dog in Tenby?
In town, the harbour and the streets inside the medieval walls hold 17 reported dog-friendly cafes and pubs in our directory, including Billycan and HARBWR Bar and Kitchen by the harbour.
