Activities

Walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in either direction is great. A flat path suitable for bikes, wheelchairs and pushchairs takes you to Coppet Hall and Wisemans Bridge in one direction and to Tenby in the other.

Although the distance to Tenby isn't great, the path is rough and there are a number of descents and climbs as the path drops down to some little coves like Waterwynch. The path meanders through the woods which are full of bluebells in May.

Near Saundersfoot is Battlefield LIVE! A laser combat centre, which is similar to paintballing but without the bruises!

Saundersfoot pleasure boats run boat trips out of the harbour.

 

Attractions

The main attraction is the beach. The main beach is a family bathing beach, which has a dog ban in place between May and September. If you do have dogs, walk along The Strand to find a path down to the beach near the tunnel. This is where the dog ban ends. Anything east of here towards Coppet Hall is OK for dogs. Take a look at a map of the beach which will help explain the restircted area

If you fancy a quieter low-tide beach, Glen beach can be accessed via The Harbour. Walk right round to the west side. It's easier than crossing the stream that flows out of The Harbour at low tide.

The National Trust run Colby Woodland Garden is nearby. They have a great scrapbook for children called 50 things to do before you're 11¾. Pick one up at the shop and tick off as many as you can.

 

Transport 

There is a train station called ‘Saundersfoot’ but it’s a mile out of the village and there are no facilities there at all so you need to arrange to be picked up. If you need a bus or a taxi, get off at Tenby station instead. There are good bus services into Tenby or along the coast to Amroth and Pendine.

Saundersfoot host a range of events throughout the year including their St Nicholas Christmas fair and the famous New Years Day swim.

Ever heard people saying, ‘You don’t need to use your legs in open water because you’re in a wetsuit’?? OR ‘You need to save your legs for the Bike & Run’??

Training the Swimming Energy systems Training the Swimming Energy systems

As triathletes were all familiar with the 5 training zones but in swimming, we like to make things more scientific and slightly more technical. This month I will be explaining the Swimming Energy systems with an easy-to-follow guide to help you put together your own swim session plan.

Top Tip - Start with a sprint tri early in the season. Swansea is a good one to get your confidence up as the swim is in SA1 Dock which is a great environment as you don’t have to battle the seas tide and currents.
