Tenby Shines as One of the UK’s Top Seaside Towns in Latest National Survey
Let me tell you about something that made me proud—and a bit nostalgic too. If you've ever been to Tenby, you’ll know exactly why this news feels like a warm wave of recognition. Tenby, the charming seaside town nestled in Pembrokeshire, has just been named one of the top seaside destinations in the entire UK by Which? , the well-respected consumer advocacy group. And honestly, it's about time it got this kind of spotlight.
In a nationwide survey that included 117 seaside towns and gathered nearly 9,000 reviews from over 3,800 travellers, Tenby secured a glowing overall score of 78%. That’s no small feat, especially when you consider it was measured alongside coastal giants like St Ives, Whitby, and even top-ranked Bamburgh. Tenby held its own—and then some.

What’s really special is that Tenby received five-star ratings in some of the categories that truly define the perfect coastal escape: its beach, the seafront, food and drink, accommodation, and that jaw-dropping scenery. If you've walked through its Georgian lanes or stood on Castle Hill looking out over Carmarthen Bay, you’ll know what they mean by ‘five stars’.
The Which? survey didn’t just go by vibes; it broke down specific features like beach quality, parking, tourist attractions, and value for money. And Tenby was a stand-out across the board. Sure, it only got three stars for peace and quiet and two for parking—but let’s be honest, part of Tenby’s charm is its lively atmosphere, especially in summer. And anyone who’s tried to park in a historic town knows the struggle is real.
Interestingly, only three towns earned perfect marks for their beaches, and Tenby was one of them. That says a lot. The survey highlighted the town’s “four, family-friendly beaches” and the unforgettable view of Goscar Rock rising from the north shore—iconic for anyone who's snapped a photo there.
The report even mentioned that, despite Tenby being known for occasional crowds, especially in peak season, many visitors still appreciated its quieter charm during off-peak months. There’s a rhythm to the town that changes with the seasons, and that’s part of what makes it so magical.
This recognition doesn’t just validate Tenby as a tourist hotspot—it celebrates its authenticity, its balance of natural beauty and cultural richness. It reminds us that sometimes, the best places aren’t the most hyped, but the ones that quietly and consistently deliver unforgettable experiences.
So whether you're a regular visitor, someone who's passed through, or just curious about where to head next for a UK coastal break, Tenby has earned its place at the top. And if you haven’t been yet, maybe it’s time to see for yourself what everyone’s falling in love with—one colourful harbour, soft-sand beach, and sea breeze at a time.
