To make things easy, we’ve put together a simple 2-day itinerary so you can make the most of your stay — no overplanning, just great spots, good food, and plenty of time outdoors with your dog.
Day 1 – Coastlines & Classic Views

Let your dog run, take in the views, and ease into your break properly.
Lunch: Relax & Refuel

Afternoon: Bosherston Lily Ponds to Broad Haven South
For the afternoon, slow things down with a walk around Bosherston Lily Ponds — peaceful, scenic, and ideal if you want something a bit calmer.
If you’re feeling up for it, carry on through to Broad Haven South for another stretch on the sand.
Evening: Settle in at The Dolphin Hotel
After a full day, head back to The Dolphin Hotel, Pembroke Dock.
This is what it’s all about — a warm, relaxed atmosphere, great food, and a comfortable space where both you and your dog can properly unwind.
Day 2 – Hidden Gems & Easy Exploring
Morning: Manorbier Beach Walk
Start your second day with a visit to Manorbier — a slightly quieter, more tucked-away beach with plenty of character.
Think rock pools, cliffs, and space to explore at your own pace.
Midday: Pembrokeshire Coast Path
Pick a short stretch of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path for incredible views without overdoing it. Even a gentle walk here feels like an experience.
Afternoon: Angle Bay or a Local Stroll
Before heading home, keep things easy with a shorter walk at Angle Bay — just minutes from Pembroke Dock.
It’s perfect for one last bit of fresh air before the journey back.
