Wales Best of the West – Episode 4 – Stackpole Quay

Published 4 years agoon March 3, 2022

Wales Best of the West (Cymru Gorau’r Gorllewin) is a bilingual online series that takes viewers on a journey from North to South Wales to discover four favourite shore dives.

In this episode, we explore Stackpole Quay.

Stackpole Quay brings the series to an end. A small cove situated a few miles south from Pembroke. The stony cove hidden amongst the cliffs of the Pembrokeshire coast is a site full of life and the finger like reefs protruding from the coastline provides unique topography. The reefs provide shelter and protection to many species. The adjacent sand creates suitable habitat for many ambush species. At the site we found a fair amount of litter, therefore we undertook an underwater clean to raise awareness of the local underwater clean up charity Neptunes Army of Rubbish Cleaners (NARC).
