Known as “The Jewel in the Crown” by the people of Wales, the bustling coastal resort of Tenby commands a commanding location on the breathtaking “Welsh Riviera.”. It’s easy to see why Pembrokeshire is one of the sunniest counties in Britain when you visit Tenby, which is part of the 186-mile-long Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. This charming town, which is surrounded by historic fortifications, is home to a maze of cobbled streets lined with unique boutiques, a year-round indoor food market, tearooms, and mouthwatering restaurants. Blue Flag beaches and coastal paths provide watersports enthusiasts a wealth of options, but the world-renowned Tenby Iron-Man contestants (held in mid-September) don’t have time for any of it!
