help Barafundle Bay FAQ

How do you reach Barafundle Bay?

There is no road access to the sand. The shortest common route is a roughly half-mile walk over the coast path from the pay-and-display car park at Stackpole Quay.

Are there toilets or a cafe at Barafundle Bay?

There are no facilities on the beach itself. Toilets and the Boathouse Tea-room are back at Stackpole Quay, so visitors should carry supplies and take rubbish away.

Are dogs allowed on Barafundle Bay?

The National Trust allows dogs, but asks owners to keep them under close control because the Stackpole Estate contains livestock and wildlife. The beach does not have the broad seasonal dog ban found at some Welsh resorts.

Is Barafundle Bay accessible for wheelchairs or pushchairs?

The final approach includes steep steps, rough ground, and an uneven coast path. The National Trust states that direct beach access is unsuitable for wheelchairs, powered mobility vehicles, and pushchairs.
