*************

Caerfai Bay near St Davids in Pembrokeshire, West Wales has cliffs of purple sandstone and a sandy beach at low tide reached by steep steps. The beach is situated in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and has rugged coastal scenery with the path winding up and down the cliffs. There is free parking above the beach with picnic benches and views of the islands of Penpleidiau, Skomer and Skokholm.[1]

Geology

The cliffs have distinctive purple Cambrian sandstone, and there are disused quarries below the car park and at Caer Bwdy Bay which provided stone used for building St Davids Cathedral.[2][3]

Location

Caerfai is the closest beach 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the cathedral city of St Davids and can be reached by the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Along the coast to the west is the Chapel of St Non which is the most westerly in Wales. To the east is the Iron Age fort Castell Penpleidiau, then Caer Bwdy Bay.[2][4]

Commercial activity

Caerfai Bay Caravan and Tent Park which started in the 1930s is open between March and November and has static hire, touring and camping pitches which overlook Caerfai Bay.[5] Caerfai Farm is 140 acres (0.57 km2) producing organic milk, cheeses and potatoes using sustainable energy sources, including solar, geothermal, wind and biomass energy.[6] The farm also has a seasonal shop and a campsite.[7]
