Tenby is a compact, picturesque seaside town on the south coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales, set around a small harbour and backed by a sweeping bay and three sandy beaches. Its skyline of pastel-coloured harbourside houses, medieval town walls and castle remnants gives a strong sense of history, while the dramatic St Catherine’s Island and nearby Caldey Island sit just offshore and are popular for boat trips and wildlife watching.
Situated within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the town balances a tourist-driven economy - galleries, shops, cafés and holiday accommodation - with a working harbour and fishing traditions; it also attracts families and retirees and hosts a lively local arts scene and seasonal festivals. Visitors tend to enjoy the coastal walks, maritime heritage and the relaxed social atmosphere that makes it a long-standing favourite for British seaside holidays.
