What about Pendine Sands - my parents went there last year and said it's really nice

Saundersfoot is very nice. Tenby is bigger but has got a fantastic beach. Good old fashioned sea side resort. Don't go to the Haven site in Tenby however as it is very crowded and dirty.

This is nearer to me

Tenby, or Pendine.

Both lovely places to stay, near some lovely beaches.

And near Folly Farm here

Oakwood Park may be a bit too old for your children here

Will you be staying in a hotel or caravan park? Or something else?

I LOVE Wales.

I'd like to know of a good camping place, quite remote, can have campfires etc near a beach...anything?!

Carew Castle is good if you like ruins, sheep and a walk! (I do).

Little Haven is lovely.

Broad Haven has a beautiful, huge beach. Nearby is the Druidstone Hotel - great meals and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere (in fact, such a wonderful, child-friendly, relaxed place that I hesitate to mention it on MN, for fear of never being able to get a room there). Also a good beach at Whitesands Bay, near St Davids (the smallest cathedral city in Britain and well worth a visit).

Makes me long to go there. Luckily I shall be soon, as we've booked a cottage near Solva (pretty harbour, near St Davids) this summer.
