Priory beach is a sandy beach that sits in Prioriy Bay on the Caldey island just off the coast from Tenby in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
This is a small island only accessible by a boat trip which makes sure the beach is never too busy. As you arrive at the island, Priory beach is the welcoming sight from the ferry landing point.
The beach here is a gentle slope with safe currents that make it a safe swimming beach.
The beach is an excellent beach but don’t forget to explore the island.
