Goodwick Harbour South Beach is a small sandy beach located in a bay, serving as a departure point for the main ferry line to Ireland. .

Goodwick Harbour South Beach is situated within the walls of Fishguard Harbour, from where a ferry service operates to Rosslare in Ireland. The beach is separated from Goodwick Sands by the harbour wall. At low tide, the beach is popular for walking, swimming, water sports, and watching the ferries entering and leaving the harbour. However, at high tide, the sandy part of the beach is completely submerged.

The beach can be accessed via a slipway, and a car park is located directly behind it. Public toilets and a watersports centre are also available, along with a promenade featuring benches facing the sea. A small retail park with shops and places to eat can be found across the road from the beach. The nearest railway station, Fishguard and Goodwick Railway Station, is a short walk away.

The seaside town of Goodwick, twinned with neighbouring Fishguard, offers a small shingle beach on the south side of the sea wall. A promenade backs the beach, and a long sea wall provides an opportunity for a scenic walk. Visitors can enjoy fish and chips on the beach or take a walk along the Goodwick Sea Wall for panoramic views of the area. The Fishguard Ferry Port, which operates the Fishguard to Rosslare ferry, is located just north of the beach.
