The North Beach is an east-facing 800 metre wide stretch of sand, curving round to
Tenby Harbour to the south. This beach is backed by limestone cliffs and is overlooked
by a promenade and the town of Tenby. There is a large rock, known as Gosker Rock,
at the centre of the beach between high and low tide marks. The bay is located within
the Carmarthen Bay Special Area Conservation, with the cliffs and St Catherine’s Island
being listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, confirming the high conservation
status of the area. The bathing water also lies within Pembrokeshire Coast National
Park. The water quality sample point is located north of Gosker Rock.
