The beach is one of the best-loved in the area and is tucked away between Harbour Beach and the elegant North Cliffs. As a result, the sands face east which means that it catches the sun all day and feels warm even when the winds are high.  --> This area as a whole sheltered by the cliffs that surround it as well as part of the famous wall that encircles the town of Tenby and dates from the medieval period. Tenby North is regarded by many as being one of the prettiest in Pembrokeshire and is certainly one of the most photographed spots on the coast.
