Castle Beach, Tenby

About Castle Beach, Tenby

Castle Beach sits between Tenby's harbour and St Catherine's Island, below the castle headland. Tenby isn't a high-volume glass beach, but the rocky and pebbly margins at the foot of the cliffs and the drying harbour foreshore give genuine finds, including old sea pottery.

Sea glass at Castle Beach, Tenby

Green, brown and white are usual, with blue, aqua, amber and turquoise occasionally, rare cobalt, black, lavender and red, plus glazed and patterned Victorian pottery shards. A visitor to South Beach found only a piece or two, so focus on Castle Beach's rocky margins and the harbour wall at low tide.

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
