Just a stone’s throw from a well-renowned, beautiful Blue Flag beach, YHA Broad Haven is a super spot for seaside family breaks. The hostel is dominated by its beach-side location, with a nautical theme running throughout the building.
Explore the Pembrokeshire coastal path from the hostel’s front door, or at low tide, walk the half mile over the sand to Little Haven with its quaint fishermen’s cottages and quayside. If you're feeling peckish, why not enjoy some food with a stunning sea view at our Haven's Beach Café?

YHA Broad Haven was built in partnership with the Countryside Commission (now the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park Authority) in 1980 to be used as a hostel. They had an information centre next door which is now our field study centre for visiting groups. This hostel is situated in the Pembrokeshire National Park, which is the only coastal National Park in the UK.
Manager recommends: Laughing, splashing, surfing and basking in the spray on the beach at St Brides Bay, with the sun on your face - what better way to spend a family mini break or holiday!
