Skomer Island
From the Deer Park on the headland at Wooltack Point, just above the campsite, you can look westward to Skomer Island, one of West Wales' most picturesque islands, with its stunning and varied wildlife.
From a sea strewn with rafts of guillemots, razorbills and puffins, to exposed headlands, towering offshore rocks and sheltered inlets, home to the birds and mammals of this amazing island Nature Reserve.
Just 10 minutes walk along the coast path from the campsite is Martins Haven, from here a 50-seater passenger boat, the Dale Queen, offers gentle cruises through the surrounding waters and bays of Skomer and also transports visitors to the Island.
