Simply start at Martin’s Haven and follow the coast path all the way to Nolton, you’ll find the following steps:
1. Martin’s Haven: A north-facing rocky cove that is the embarkation point for trips to the seabird sanctuary of Skomer Island.
2. St Bride’s Haven: A pretty little rocky cove. The small beach is a pleasant place to swim or paddle and explore the rock pools.
3. Little Haven: A small cove where roads from 3 directions steeply drop towards the water’s edge.
4. Broad Haven: Generally calm and popular with families, it can also be popular for surfing, windsurfing, and sailing.
5. Druidston Haven: The beach is popular for bathing and is wide and sandy. When the tide is in, the gorgeous golden sands can’t be seen from the road, but its charm unfolds as you descend the steep path down into the cove.
6. Nolton Haven: A small sheltered cove with a nice sandy beach. The outlines of the two headlands which close the narrow bay resemble faces looking across the beach at each other, can you spot them!?
