What to expect

Pembrokeshire's coast is famous for its crab, lobster and mackerel, caught by small boats and sold at harbours and in cafes and pubs along the coast. Places such as Solva and Dale are known for crab sandwiches and fresh fish, and local restaurants and fish shacks serve the day's catch. It is an ideal reward after a walk on the coast path.
