Summary
Pristine sand cove in Pembrokeshire with no road access, consistently rated among Wales’s finest beaches.
About this location
Barafundle Bay is an isolated south-facing cove in Pembrokeshire, accessible only on foot through the Stackpole Estate. The National Trust-managed bay has a wide arc of soft sand, limestone cliffs, clear water, and woodland backing, with no road access or commercial development. It is consistently cited as one of the most beautiful beaches in Wales and the UK. The complete absence of modern development and the need to walk 20 minutes from the nearest car park makes Barafundle a location that retains a pristine quality hard to find at accessible beaches. Productions seeking unspoilt Welsh coastal scenery regularly use Pembrokeshire, with Barafundle among the most sought-after specific coves.
The location offers broad scope for both wide landscape shooting and intimate coastal scenes. Natural light conditions vary significantly with the season and prevailing weather, giving location managers flexibility across different production requirements. Access and filming rights should be confirmed with the local authority or land manager before scheduling production days. The area has attracted increasing interest from location scouts working on features and series set along the British coastline.
