Whitesands, or to give it its welsh name Traeth Mawr, is consistently rated one of Wales' very best beaches.

A large sandy beach in a magnificent setting, Whitesands is well known for it's views, glorious sunsets and crystal clear water.

It is understandably popular, with swimming and surfing areas designated by the lifeguards who patrol here during the summer months.

If you can drag yourself away from the beach, there are some stunning walks with memorable views over the St Davids Penisula and Ramsey Island.

There is a large car park right on the beach which in the summer often has a long queue to get into it - fees are payable.

There is a shop, cafe and toilets in the car park.

To find Whitesands follow the signs (and everyone else) from St Davids.
