Watersports in St Davids
Overview
The closest beach to YHA St David's is Whitesands, a short walk from the hostel which saves on parking fees. Surfing is popular at Whitesands beach and wetsuits and boards can be hired in St David's town. Try kite surfing at Whitesands and Newgale - a short drive but a great beach, particularly at low tide. St. Davids and Fishguard. Both good for coasteering or you could hire a canoe or kayak and paddle out from Fishguard.
What better way to explore this extraordinary coastline than from water level? Just think of the thrill! You’ll swim through unsullied gullies, dip into otherwise hidden sea caves, haul yourself through rock arches, dodge waves and maybe even come face-to-face with Atlantic grey seals. The cliffs around St Nons near St Davids are ideal and there are plenty of activity providers in the area so find the one that fits the bill and (wet)suit up for an unforgettable wet weekend.
