Martin's Haven

Martin's Haven is a small, north-facing cove in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK, on the Dale Peninsula, with views across St Bride's Bay towards St David's.

Description

[edit]

The Haven's shingle beach has a stone slipway which acts as an embarkation point for the ferry which visits the nearby island of Skomer, a national nature reserve, during summer. Martin's Haven lies within the Skomer Marine Conservation Zone and is popular for scuba diving and attractive for its dark sky.[1] Grey seals can be seen basking on the rocks. The Haven is on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It has its own car park and toilet facilities, owned by the National Trust, as is much of the small peninsula on which Martin's Haven lies.[2][3][4] The National Trust area features a peninsula walk from which most of Pembrokeshire's islands can be seen.[5]
