Amroth

Amroth is a coastal village and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It lies on the southwest coast of the country, within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The village faces the Celtic Sea and is best known for Amroth Beach, a long sandy shore backed by dunes that attracts walkers, families, and visitors in the warmer months.

The local economy is primarily oriented toward tourism, with holiday parks, caravan sites, and a range of guest accommodations supporting visitors. In addition to the beach, the surrounding countryside offers rural scenery and opportunities for walking and birdwatching. The village itself contains a small selection of shops and pubs that serve residents and tourists.

Historically, Amroth developed from a small fishing and farming settlement, with growth tied to coastal travel and holidaymakers in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, tourism remains a central part of the community, complemented by agriculture in the rural hinterland.

Administratively, Amroth is a community and parish within Pembrokeshire and is governed by a local community council under the broader jurisdiction of Pembrokeshire County Council. It is linked to nearby towns such as Saundersfoot and Tenby by local roads and forms part of the scenic route for those exploring the southern Pembrokeshire coast. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path provides access to the coastline, connecting Amroth with other coastal settlements along the national park.
