Access

Short walk |
M4 then A48 then A40 to Haverfordwest. Then take B4341 will take you to Broad Haven. Park in the carpark next to the beach. Be careful as the water comes right up so don't leave any kite on the beach on an incoming tide.
Extra information
During summer be careful as there will be many people on the beach. If it's slightly offshore think about going to Newgale beach just up the road or down to Dale a few miles away.
Nightlife
Almost none but listen to local radio for local barn dances and the like. Haverfordwest is quite good at the weekends.
