Pembrokeshire, with its rugged coastlines, golden beaches, and picturesque villages, is made for romance. Whether you’re hiking dramatic headlands, sharing a cosy pub lunch, or stargazing under the inky night sky, this corner of Wales offers endless ways to slow down and savour time together. Here are eight romantic things to do in and around St Davids for a truly unforgettable escape.
Walk the coast path & picnic in the dunes at Whitesands
A trip to Pembrokeshire wouldn’t be complete without the coast path. On a bright, breezy day, pack a picnic and settle into the dunes at Whitesands for an intimate lunch with the sea as your soundtrack. It’s simple, scenic, and undeniably romantic. Why not grab some supplies from West Point Trading for your picnic?
Go Stargazing
Once the sun has set and the peninsula goes quiet, Pembrokeshire becomes a stargazer’s dream. With minimal light pollution and wide open skies, it’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time together — just the two of you, a warm blanket, and a sky full of stars. For one of the best views, head up towards St Davids Head on a clear night, or keep it simple with a late-evening stop at Whitesands Bay, where the sound of the waves makes it even more magical.
Book a couples spa treatment with Menevia Spa
If your idea of romance involves switching off completely, treat yourselves to a spa experience with Menevia Spa in St Davids. They offer indulgent couples treatments — and even better, you don’t have to go anywhere as they can come straight to your accommodation. Pure bliss.
Hike out to St Davids Head
For something a little more wild and windswept, St Davids Head is one of the most spectacular walks on the peninsula. Expect sweeping sea views, dramatic cliffs and that invigorating, salty-air feeling that makes the post-walk cosiness even better.
Explore St Davids Cathedral & wander the city
Spend a slow afternoon in St Davids — the UK’s smallest city — and explore its beautiful cathedral, peaceful grounds, and historic atmosphere. Afterwards, take a gentle stroll through the little streets and reward yourselves with a cosy coffee (and a Welshcake) at Mamgu Welshcakes.
Watch the sunset at Whitesands Bay
Few things feel more romantic than ending the day at the beach. Head back to Whitesands as the sun begins to dip, wrap up warm, and watch the sky melt into soft pinks and golds over the water. If the wind is kind, it’s absolutely magical.
Take a boat trip to Ramsey Island
For a romantic experience with a little adventure, take a boat trip out towards Ramsey Island. The views back towards the St Davids coastline are spectacular, and with seabirds overhead and the sea stretching out around you, it’s the kind of moment that makes your trip feel truly special.
Book a special dinner in St Davids
St Davids has some brilliant places to eat, but Blas Restaurant is an ideal choice for something special — beautifully cooked dishes using local ingredients, a warm atmosphere, and the kind of meal you’ll be talking about long after you’ve left. Don’t forget a glass of bubbles to celebrate
