When most people picture Pembrokeshire, they imagine long summer days, sandy toes, and coastal adventures. But here’s a secret the locals know well: winter in Broad Haven is magical. Crisp sea air, dramatic skies, empty beaches and cosy coastal living create a winter escape that’s every bit as mesmerising—if not more so—than the summer months.
If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with inspiring views and unbeatable coastal access, Atlantic View holiday apartments in Broad Haven offer the perfect winter hideaway.
The allure of a Pembrokeshire winter
- Beaches all to yourself
Broad Haven’s sweeping sandy beach transforms in winter. With fewer visitors, you can enjoy peaceful walks where the only sounds are your footsteps and the waves. Whether you’re strolling at sunrise or wrapped up for a golden-hour wander, the quieter season lets you experience Pembrokeshire’s coastline in its purest form.
- Dramatic coastal walks
Winter is when the Pembrokeshire Coast Path truly shines. The rugged cliffs, wild seascapes, and ever-changing skies create unforgettable walking conditions. From Broad Haven, you can wander south toward Little Haven or north toward Druidston—both routes offering breathtaking views and photo opportunities around every turn.
- Cosy pubs & local food
Winter is the perfect time to tuck into hearty Pembrokeshire fare. Enjoy warming meals in nearby havens such as The Galleon, The Swan Inn, or St Brides Inn, where log fires, local ale, and fresh seafood complete the cosy coastal experience. Many cafés stay open throughout the winter, giving you a warm spot to watch the waves roll in.
- Wildlife encounters
Winter brings a surprising amount of wildlife activity to Pembrokeshire. Keep an eye out for:
Seals resting on quiet coves
Migrating birds along the coast
Dolphins on the calmer winter seas
Nature feels closer in winter, and with fewer crowds, you get a front-row seat.

Pembrokeshire – the perfect family holiday destination
There’s something about Pembrokeshire that gets under your skin a little bit. Maybe it’s the wild coastline, the slower pace, or the fact that even rainy days somehow still feel part of the adventure. Whatever it is, families return year after year — and after one visit, it’s easy to understand why.
For anyone planning a family holiday in West Wales, Broad Haven is one of those places that quietly ticks every box. Big beach, relaxed atmosphere, plenty to do nearby, and enough space to properly switch off. It’s also home to Atlantic View Self Catering Apartments — a brilliant base for exploring everything Pembrokeshire has to offer.
Beach days without the stress
One of the best things about staying in Broad Haven is that the beach is genuinely part of daily life. No packing the car for an hour-long trip or searching endlessly for parking spaces. You can stroll down with a bucket and spade, grab an ice cream, and spend the afternoon watching the kids disappear into rock pools and waves.
Broad Haven beach is ideal for families. At low tide it seems to stretch forever, giving children loads of space to play football, build sandcastles or paddle safely. The sunsets here are incredible too — the sort that make you stop mid-conversation and just look.
Atlantic View apartments sit in a perfect spot for this kind of holiday. Comfortable, relaxed accommodation where you can wake up to sea air, wander down to the beach in minutes, and return sandy and happy after a full day outdoors.
Days out the kids will actually remember
Pembrokeshire is packed with family attractions, but what makes it special is how varied everything is. One day can be full-on adventure, the next can be slow and simple.
Folly Farm Adventure Park & Zoo
Heatherton World of Activities
This is a great option when families want something a bit different. You’ll find everything at Heatherton, from crazy golf and go-karts to archery and high ropes. It’s one of those places where you can easily spend far longer than planned.
Boat trips to Skomer Island
puffin
This is classic Pembrokeshire. Hop on a boat trip and head out to spot puffins, seals and seabirds around the stunning coastline. Kids absolutely love it, and honestly, most adults do too. Seeing puffins up close feels surprisingly magical.

The best part? The simple things
What many families love most about Pembrokeshire isn’t necessarily the attractions — it’s the slower moments in between.
Fish and chips by the sea.
An evening walk along the coast path.
Rock pooling for crabs.
Watching surfers while drinking coffee on the seafront.
Pembrokeshire gives families a chance to spend proper time together without needing a packed schedule every minute of the day.
Why stay at Atlantic View self catering apartments?
Finding the right accommodation can completely shape a holiday, especially with children involved. Atlantic View Apartments offer the kind of stay families actually need — spacious, comfortable, practical and close to everything.

Whether you’re planning summer beach days, autumn coastal walks, or a last-minute family escape, Atlantic View self catering apartments make an ideal base for discovering the very best of Pembrokeshire.
And once you’ve been here once, don’t be surprised if you start planning the next trip before you’ve even left.
Explore Pembrokeshire’s puffin paradise
Skomer Island sits just off the Pembrokeshire coast, less than a mile out to sea. It might be small, but it’s one of the best places in the UK to see puffins up close. Every year, thousands of them return here, turning the island into a busy little wildlife hub.
When to Visit
Puffins usually arrive in April and stick around until August.
If you want to see them at their busiest, aim for mid-June to mid-July. That’s when they’re most active, flying back and forth with food and popping in and out of their burrows.
It’s not just puffins either — you might also spot dolphins, seals, porpoises, and other seabirds while you’re there.
Getting to Skomer
From Broad Haven, it’s an easy drive to the main departure points.
By land (most popular option):
Head to Martin’s Haven and catch a short boat trip over to the island. The crossing only takes about 15 minutes, and once you’re there, you’re free to explore at your own pace.
By sea tour:
You can also take a wildlife boat trip from St Justinians, near St Davids. These don’t land on the island but give you great views of the cliffs and seabirds from the water.
A Few Things to Know Before You Go
Skomer is a protected wildlife area, so there are a few simple rules:
It’s all pretty straightforward, just come prepared and take your time.
Staying Nearby
One of the best parts about staying at Atlantic View Holidays is how close you are to it all. You can enjoy a relaxed morning by the sea, then head out for a puffin adventure without rushing.
Broad Haven itself is worth exploring too — a great beach, coastal walks, and easy access to some of Pembrokeshire’s best spots.

Thinking About a Trip?
If the idea of seeing puffins in the wild sounds like your kind of day out, Pembrokeshire won’t disappoint. Plan your visit between spring and summer, book your boat in advance, and you’re all set.
A few days by the coast — with puffins thrown in — is hard to beat.

Exploring the Pembrokeshire Coast for a New Year fitness resolution
Pembrokeshire presents an ideal setting to kickstart your New Year’s fitness resolutions with a burst of activity! Boasting an impressive 186 miles of
coastal paths, the county offers a wealth of options for invigorating walks and trail runs. The renowned Pembrokeshire Coast Path stretches from St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south.
One of the most challenging sections of the Coast Path is the 16-mile journey from St Dogmaels to Newport, featuring frequent and steep hills. Continuing from Newport to Fishguard, and onward from Pwll Deri to Porthgain, this 49-mile stretch showcases breathtaking cliffs and dramatic scenery, making it a favourite for photography enthusiasts.
During the 19th century, Porthgain and Abereiddi rose to prominence through slate mining, brick making and gravel quarrying. Today, Porthgain is a popular tourist village, known for its art galleries, cosy seaside pub and charming café.

The next stage takes you from Broad Haven to Martin’s Haven and onwards to Dale, before continuing to Neyland—a distance of around 16 miles. Be sure to check tide tables before setting off, as this section includes two tidal crossings. From Neyland, a further 16 miles leads through Angle, Freshwater West and Broad Haven South. Please note that the Coast Path between Freshwater West and Broad Haven South is restricted due to the military base at Castlemartin.
The final leg of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path spans 25 miles from Broad Haven South to the finish line in Amroth. Passing iconic locations
such as Barafundle Bay and Skrinkle Haven, this is one of the busiest and most celebrated sections of the trail. In 2004, Barafundle Bay gained international acclaim, being named among the Top 12 Beaches in the World and “The Best Beach in Britain” by The Good Holiday Guide.
Upon reaching Amroth, celebrate the completion of your journey with a delicious meal at one of the village’s popular restaurants, such as The Smugglers Bar & Grill, well known for its home-cooked, locally sourced food and pirate-themed children’s play area.
