Incredible UK seaside town named one of the best places to live
Share:
Tourists have been flocking to a gorgeous little town on the southwest coast of Wales for over two centuries but it’s also a ‘great place to live’ for those who crave an idyllic life by the sea. Trips to the coast have long been a favourite pursuit during weekends and school holidays. Getting away from the stress of everyday life and breathing in the rejuvenating sea air while browsing local cafes and shops or playing in amusement arcades makes for a great day out or longer break.
But for those who don’t want to leave the serenity and joy behind and are considering a full-time life by the sea, one resort on the southwest coast of Wales could be the perfect place to put down roots. Pembrokeshire is renowned for its stunning coastline dotted with pretty towns but Tenby is arguably one of the most magical.
Its most famous beach, Castle Beach, was named as Britain’s best in 2019 by the Sunday Times and the town was listed in restless.co.uk’s top places to live in the UK. Tenby sits on a headland where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Irish Sea and is surrounded by a medieval stone wall. Thanks to its beauty and pristine, sandy beaches tourists have been flocking to the resort for over 200 hundred years. There are huge stretches of golden sand on the Blue Flag beaches for families to enjoy or to stroll along while taking in the breathtaking views.
A short 20-minute boat ride away is the remote and peaceful Caldey Island which is inhabited by monks who sell handmade soaps and perfumes. Here you can spot various seabirds, red squirrels and if you’re really lucky some seals. There are wildlife parks and walks within the surrounding area and along the coastal path for nature lovers.
