Whitesands Bay is a rock-flanked wide, sandy, blue-flag beach popular with families, surfers, canoeists and body-boarders – particularly the northern end closest to St David’s Head. At very low tides, the remains of an ancient forest have been seen, and bones of deer, aurich and brown bear have been found. Traces of a 6th century chapel dedicated to St Patrick are buried beneath the dunes at the northern end of the bay. Some 50 skeletons dating to the 7th and 11th centuries have been found nearby. It is a short, fascinating, walk from there to St David’s Head. There is a car park, which can get full at peak times, and other facilities. Buses are available from St Davids, 2 miles away.
