Beautiful untouched beach in Tenby. Voted one of the top beaches in the UK to visit.
A small bay backed by dunes and pine trees, accessible only by a half mile walk from the nearest car park. Swathes of golden sand and crystal clear waters, Barafundle has been voted many, many times as one of the best beaches in Britain and the world; it’s often likened to a Caribbean beach! This pristine beach is isolated which means no facilities; so everything you take has to come back up over the cliffs.

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.
T. S. Eliot

During the walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, I wondered what kind of poet wrote this epic story that we find ourselves in.  Silly boy...always asking why the sky is blue as if it would change the taste of chocolate or Irish stew.  Yet, I still need to know...why?  Keeps me occupied, I guess, on days when there is nothing to do but wonder...why blue?
