Make sure to look out for the *amazing* geological formations in the cliff face - it's absolutely fascinating. They're all curvy & it really makes you wonder at the sheer depths of time taken to create such a thing.

A really special viewpoint along the coastal path, Haroldston Chins is precariously perched in the foreground, with the coastline of Druidston Haven, Ricketts Head and Newgale stretching off into the distance. Take a photo while you're here, it might have changed by the next time you come back. Wheelchair accessible via a tarmac path, if your starting point is the small parking space off the road.

Musselwick Sands is another of those idyllic Pembrokeshire beaches that's only accessible from the coast path. This means it's relatively quiet, although you'll have to check the tide times before visiting, as the beach is only revealed at low tide. To access it, you have to descend steps that are cut into the rock. A pair of picnic tables towards the top of the beach make it a great little lunch spot.
