Tenby is a coastal town and parish on the south coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales, built around a compact walled harbour and backed by long sandy bays such as North Beach and South Beach. The old town’s colourful Georgian and Victorian houses sit alongside visible stretches of medieval town wall; nearby St Catherine’s Island and boat trips to Caldey Island add scenic and historic interest, while the shoreline gives easy access to the coastal landscape.
Tourism largely shapes the local economy - holiday accommodation, cafés, galleries and seasonal events - though a small fishing fleet and lifeboat station maintain maritime traditions. Tenby is popular with day‑trippers and artists, sees a marked summer population swell, and serves as a convenient gateway to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, blending local community life with the rhythms of a seaside resort.
