Overview

Experience the magic of Pembrokeshire with the breathtaking bays, beaches and hills which surround YHA St Davids. This rural retreat is a converted farmhouse at Whitesands Bay, one of Britain’s Blue Flag beaches, making it perfect for a cheap family seaside break full of coastal walks.

Swimming, surfing, coasteering, climbing, riding and walking – everything's here for a non-stop activity break or watersports holiday. When you stay in St Davids, don’t miss St Davids Cathedral (which makes St Davids the UK's smallest city) and St Non’s – a significant religious site, and plan in a visit to Ramsey Island, with its wealth of bird and sea life.

Meet the team

Manager recommends: For a change from the beach on your seaside break, climb Carn Llidi. The path starts from the hostel and the views from the top are breathtaking. Look out for welsh ponies and buzzards while you’re walking, and badgers in the evening. If you're looking for a surfing holiday, Whitesands Bay beach offers some sizable waves.

Or if you love wildlife, take a boat from St Justinian to Ramsey Island in spring. There’s an enjoyable 3.5-mile trail around the island so take a stroll and acquaint yourself with the wealth of local creatures. The towering cliffs to the west of the island are home to buzzards, ravens, razorbills, guillemots and kittiwakes.
