Unfortunately this morning it was still raining quite heavily.
Unfortunately the showers were 20p for 2 minutes or £1 for 10 minutes, but were nice and hot and powerful. Even though there were only 4 showers I didn’t need to queue.
We had our usual cooked breakfast and had a chill for a bit, before driving to Pembroke in search of the Tesco Superstore to find some nice bread.
We then went to Cowpots Ice Cream Shop at Whitland. We sat and ate a 3 scoop cone in the car, because it was still raining.
We decided to have a ride and have a look at some of the beaches. First we came to was Wisemans bridge. A wide sand and pebble beach with rock pools. At low tide it can be accessed by walking along the beach from Saundersfoot.
Then we went to Coppit Hall. A small sandy beach adjoining Saundersfoot beach with rock pools at low tide. We decided to have a walk on the beach as it was brightening up now. We had a steady walk along the waters edge and onto Saundersfoot Beach. A large South-East facing beach, with safe bathing and water sports.
We walked back to the car and moved on to Manorbier Beach. A sandy dune backed beach with a stream running down the northern end. Being south westerly facing it is a good surfing beach.
By now the sun had come out and it was a very nice warm afternoon. At the top of the beach is Manorbier Castle, a Norman castle and birthplace of Gerard of Wales.
We then headed back to the van for tea and a relaxing evening. It turned out to be quite a pleasant evening.
