Map of the UK

Broad Haven sits on the sheltered shore of St Bride's Bay in rural Pembrokeshire, inside the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It’s famous for a long, sandy beach backed by dunes and rock pools, popular with families and surfers alike, and is crossed by the Pembrokeshire Coast Path with rugged cliffs and nearby coves to explore.

The village has a small, seasonal community whose economy is largely driven by tourism - surf schools, holiday parks, cafés and a couple of traditional pubs - with older roots in farming and fishing. Nearby attractions such as Little Haven and St Govan's Chapel add historic and scenic interest, and local lore even includes the 1970s UFO sighting that gives Broad Haven a quirky cultural footnote.
