Tenby
A medieval fortress town where pastel houses cascade toward pristine beaches and harbor seals.
Tenby perches on limestone cliffs like a fairy tale made real, its candy-colored Georgian houses forming a perfect crescent above three golden beaches. The town moves between two rhythms: the gentle lull of harbor life where fishing boats bob beside pleasure craft, and the medieval maze of narrow streets where stone arches frame glimpses of endless sea.
