Kayaking In Pembrokeshire

Sea kayaking is a growing popular sport in Pembrokeshire. The 1.4 mile long tidal creek of Sandy Haven (high tide line is 50 meters from The Anchorage) is an ideal sheltered place to take out children as the shore is never far away. For the more experienced kayaker there is the shore of the Milford Have Waterway to explore. Immediately west of the entrance to Sandy Haven creek there are three secluded beaches backed by tall cliffs that are accessible only by boat from the sea. If Great Castle Head is rounded then the sands of Lindsway Bay lie ahead, but being opposite to the two-mile wide entrance to the Milford Haven Waterway, are exposed to some Atlantic swell and there is often a surf running on the beach which makes landing and getting off an interesting experience. At high tide there is a mile long section of seacliffs to the east of Sandy Haven to explore for interesting items along the high tide line. To paddle along these cliffs in a summer fog is interesting as many of the rocks have cormorants perched on them and they loom unexpectedly out of the sea mist. The beach at Kilroon Bay makes a good stopping place to stretch legs.
