Skomer and Skokholm Safari
About a ten-minute walk from the campsite, Martin's Haven is the departure point for an exhilarating high-speed Sea Safari to the islands of Skomer and Skokholm, journeying through the infamous white water of 'Jack Sound'. Both islands are home to vast colonies of nesting seabirds — including the largest puffin colony in southern Britain. Seals and porpoise are also regular sightings.

Martin's Haven — the Deer Park
Just 10 minutes' walk from the campsite, the Deer Park was originally part of the Kensington estate of St Brides but has never actually contained any deer. Instead: seals (pups in autumn), heather, wildflowers, spectacular rocks, sea views, and sightings of most of Pembrokeshire's islands.
Birdwatching at Marloes Mere
Marloes Mere is a great place for birdwatching, especially for waterfowl and birds of prey in the winter months. Walk down the lane from the Marloes Sands car park and stop often to look across the wetland. Two hides overlook the mere.
Marloes Peninsula — Coastal Walk
West Hook Farm is situated on the Marloes Peninsula within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, forming the westernmost tip of the southern shore of St Brides Bay.
Try this moderate 5-mile circular walk that starts at the campsite and follows the coast path and inland trails across Marloes Mere. Download a PDF of the route details and map.
Check the National Trust page on Marloes Peninsula for more things to see and do.
Skomer Island
From the Deer Park at Wooltack Point, just above the campsite, you can look westward to Skomer Island — one of West Wales' most picturesque wildlife reserves.
Just 10 minutes' walk along the coast path is Martin's Haven, from where a passenger boat offers cruises and day-trip landings.
