THE HAVENS COMMUNITY

A small sandy cove with pebbles above the high tide line, backing on to the picturesque old fishing village. Popular in summer with beachgoers, divers and for boating and can get crowded. The beach faces north west and offers some shelter from the prevailing south westerly winds. At some low tides it is possible to walk from Little Haven to Broad Haven, but beware of getting cut off by the incoming tide. In the past locally mined coal was shipped from Little Haven in small sailing vessels.

LITTLE HAVEN

Access    A minor road runs south from Broad Haven to Little Haven but it is very narrow and twisty in places. There's also a minor road to Little Haven off the B4341 Haverfordwest-Broad Haven road, and this is the best route into the village. There is a slipway for boats, which can also be used by disabled visitors. However, this must be kept clear at all times, as it is also the lifeboat slipway. Car parking is in the National Park pay and display car park just south of the beach.


Facilities    Toilets in the car park, telephone in the village, pubs and shops. Basic lifesaving equipment above the beach.
