Seal Bay
Gesail fawr is a storm beach inaccessible by foot, protected on either side by high steep sided cliffs making it the perfect breeding ground and resting spot for the common Grey seal.

Follow the footpath over the saddle and down to the north Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Head east along the coast path, Gesail fawr (Seal Bay) is the first bay you come to.
