Surfing and paddle boarding are hugely popular activities in Pembroke, and whether you’re a beginner or an expert you will be able to find a guide to help you or a place to rent boards and wetsuits.
Pembroke Castle is a fascinating place with a true sense of history, and St Govan’s Chapel (the Irish hermit and monk who died in 586AD is said to have lived on the spot where the chapel was later built) is a strange and haunting building. Another superb historical building in the area is Lamphey Bishop’s Palace. This 600 year old structure is just as beautiful today as it ever was.
