Pembrokeshire Coasteering Concordat

The Pembrokeshire Coasteering Concordat is an agreement for commercial coasteering providers using National Trust, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and/or Pembrokeshire County Council land around the coast of Pembrokeshire. The Concordat aims to safeguard the long-term use of coastal sites for coasteering and to give guidance to all organised groups on how to conduct coasteering responsibly.

Instead of having multiple agreements this concordat encompasses all coastal venues in a single document with site specific guides relating to each section of land. Aimed at activity leaders, the site guides provide clear information about usage terms and conditions where these are already in place.  Where no formal access frameworks have been established, information provides guidance around the suggested carrying capacity of the venue and highlights sensitive environmental features, parking/changing/toilet areas and particular community sensitivities. The site guides will allow activity leaders to understand more about the special qualities of the venues they use for their adventure activities and can incorporate this knowledge into their offer, and operate at their coastal venues harmoniously with other users and communities.

The coastal sites that the Coasteering Concordat applies to and where site guidance cards have been produced are:

  • Ceibwr Bay
  • Pwll Deri
  • Aberbach(Carreg Golchfa)
  • Abercastle Harbour
  • Porthgain Harbour
  • Abereiddi (Blue Lagoon)
  • Porthclais Harbour (east / west)
  • St Nons Bay
  • Caerfai Bay
  • Pointz Castle (Porthmynawyd)
  • Stackpole Quay
  • Lydstep Head
