It’s not exactly hidden... but it isn’t well known and it’s beauty is astounding! With a bit of a hill climb, and then steep steps down to it, you won’t find many people frequenting this little Welsh paradise, but it sure is worth the walk! Lay on the lush soft sand and soak in the rays, paddle in the waves, or explore the surrounding woodlands. Barafundle is a gem of West Wales! #staycation #wales #pembrokeshire #uk #beach
