Little Haven Cottages by the Sea

Little Haven’s Sheltered Cove and Pembrokeshire Coastline

Little Haven is a former fishing village with a small harbour, sandy cove and traditional cottages lining its narrow streets. The village offers coastal holiday homes close to the beach, including properties overlooking St Brides Bay. Several pubs and cafés are within walking distance of the waterfront, while the Pembrokeshire Coast Path provides access to nearby beaches and clifftop walks.

Little Haven Beach, Rock Pools and Coastal Walks

Little Haven Beach is a small sandy and rocky cove surrounded by cliffs. At low tide, visitors can explore the rock pools and walk around the headland to The Settlands, a wider stretch of sand.

When the tide is sufficiently low, it’s possible to continue along the beach to Broad Haven. This neighbouring village has a much larger sandy beach, a seafront promenade and places to eat. Check the tide times before attempting the walk, as the incoming tide can cut off the route.

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes through Little Haven, with walking routes south towards St Brides and north towards Broad Haven. A short walk up to The Point provides views across the village and St Brides Bay.

Little Haven Village, Broad Haven and Nearby Attractions

Little Haven has several traditional pubs, cafés and a small RNLI lifeboat station. The village was once a fishing and coal-exporting community, and its narrow streets still contain many older cottages.

Nearby Broad Haven has a much larger sandy beach, with shops, cafés and restaurants close to the seafront. If you’re considering staying in the neighbouring village, there are also plenty of holiday cottages in Broad Haven to choose from. Further north, Newgale has a long sandy beach popular with surfers and walkers.
