Martins Haven Beach, located on the Pembrokeshire coast, is a unique and nature-rich destination that offers a range of activities and experiences for visitors. .

Martins Haven Beach is characterised by a steep shingle and pebble bank, situated in a sheltered, rocky cove. The beach is accessible via a road that leads down to the shore, forming a slipway. The location is close to the Skomer Marine Nature Reserve, which is a haven for nature lovers, with an abundance of bird and sea life to be seen.

The cliffs at Martins Haven are home to a variety of seabirds, including razorbills, kittiwakes, guillemots, and puffins. The waters surrounding the beach are home to dolphins, seals, and basking sharks during the summer months, making it a popular spot for diving and wildlife enthusiasts. Boat trips to Skomer Island are also available, offering visitors the opportunity to explore this unique and protected environment.

There are three circular walks around Martins Haven, taking visitors to Marloes and St Brides, which is part of the National Park. The nearby Lockley Lodge, a visitor centre owned by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, offers additional information and resources for those interested in the local wildlife. The village of Marloes is also nearby, offering a range of accommodation options, including B&Bs and campsites.

For those looking to explore further, Musselwick Sands, a small sandy cove, is located just to the north of the village of Marloes. This hidden gem offers a stunning sandy beach backed by cliffs, although visitors should be aware of the steep path to the beach and the need to check the tide times.

Martins Haven Beach is adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
