Seal Bay
Gesail fawr is a storm beach inaccessible by foot, protected on either side by high steep sided cliffs making it the perfect breeding ground and resting spot for the common Grey seal. Head east out of the campsite across the cross roads at the B4583 then take the next left and head up to the Youth Hostel. Follow the footpath over the saddle and down to the north Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Head east along the coast path, Gesail fawr (Seal Bay) is the first bay you come to. Distance 8km, approximate time 2.0 hours. Click here to see this walk on OS Maps.
