A fabulous secluded sun trap Gwadn is a pebble beach with a wide expanse of golden sand at low tide. If you are prepared to make the small effort to reach it you may even find that you have the whole beach to yourselves.
Either take a walk up over the Gribbyn (part of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path) on the eastern side of picturesque Solva's fiord like harbour or walk around the headland on the sand at low tide.
