Surfing Spot at Freshwater West, Pembrokeshire

www.guardian.co.uk. Fresh is a huge beach with peaks all along its length so you can usually find a wave to yourself. The main beach produces some powerful and often quite large peaks, plus there are a couple of other good breaks in the small bays to the south. There’s also one of the heaviest, scariest reef breaks in Wales in the general area.
Freshwater West is a very large and wild beach, situated outside a military firing range and backed with sand dunes. The beach is mostly covered at high tide, and some low rocky ridges are exposed at low tide to the sides of the beach, where there are a few rock pools. It is also possible to find the fossilised stumps of a 6,000 year old forest at low tide.
Note that there’s an army firing range above the beach to the south of Freshwater West and if caught surfing here without permission you may face prosecution and/or detonation.
