Kite Sports
Pembrokeshire provides some of the best conditions for kite sports in the UK with fairly consistent wind and waves. The county has some ideal locations for kite surfing, kite boarding and power kite flying, and with careful planning the Pembrokeshire’s beaches create some stunning opportunities to enjoy these exciting sports.
Newgale beach in North Pembrokeshire is popular for kitesports, but can also be really busy with other people enjoying the beach and waves, especially in the summer. Make sure you are respectful of others using the beach.
