Welsh coastal path-Pembrokeshire in South Wales. The bigger beach in the back is only accessible by swimming from the smaller beach in the foreground, or by a hole in the huge rock barrier, only passable at low tide. Early August is a good time to go. It's always been warm (for Wales) and sunny at least 90% of the times I've spent down there. (Pic from August 2014). #beach
