Saundersfoot has topped Time Out magazine’s list of 16 best UK seaside towns to visit in 2026.
Time Out’s guide explores the greatest coastal towns in Britain right now – from idyllic beach villages and legendary resorts to remote Highland ports
Time Out assembled its UK travel experts to pick out the country’s most exciting seaside, port, harbour and resort towns to visit this year, and coming in at number one is Saundersfoot, which the publication describes as ‘an energetic village with one of Wales’ best-looking beaches’
“In the height of summer, Saundersfoot’s compact parade of surf shops, bistros and pubs is constantly abuzz,” state’s the publication’s travel writer.
“I would also argue that Saundersfoot has one of the most gorgeous beaches of any British seaside resort.
“The blonde (Blue Flag-designated) stretch directly in front of the village is where most visitors hang, but a short stroll east brings you to the slightly quieter Coppet Hall Beach, framed by rock pools and tree-covered headlands.
“Oh, and in August this year, Pembrokeshire will host the 850th anniversary of the National Eisteddfod, so when you’re not bathing on the beach or mooching around the village centre, there’ll be dozens of live dance, music and Welsh-speaking events going on in the vicinity,” they added.
