Located on a stunning coastal site with dramatic views it is believed that St Non gave birth to St Davids at this very special place. It is wonderful for a picnic stop along the coast path.

Boat Trips

Expect to see myriad seabirds including puffins, guillemots, gannets, manx shearwaters and more as well as seals and if you are lucky dolphins.

Lifeboat Station

St Davids lies at the centre of the Peninsula, surrounded by sea. The coast is rugged and scattered with rocks and since 1869 a lifeboat station has served the local and seafaring community. The current station, opened in 2016, welcomes visitors with ‘state of the art’ lifesaving facilities, a new Tamar class lifeboat and a shop.

Solva Café on the Quay, Harbour and coastal village

To the east of St Davids is the little harbour village of Solva - a real jewel of the west Wales coast. The sheltered harbour is an ideal place to sail, canoe or walk the beach or coast path. Both visitors and locals launch boats from the quay, go crabbing or (at high tide) enjoy jumping into the harbour water.
Afterwards, you can relax and find refreshments – at the Café on the Quay or at pubs and restaurants in the village – or go shopping in the individual shops and galleries along the village street.
