Advantages: great shopping, great town, lovely views

Disadvantages: can be very busy in the summer, parking can be tricky

Oh i love tenby, i went there as a child, and loved the beaches, 4 years ago my partner booked us for a weekend in tenby, and i have to say it was the best weekend ever.

Tenby wasnt what i remembered, it was much better. The town is pedestrianised during june-august, so parking can be difficult, but there are 3 car parks, so we've always been able to get into one of them. Parking is about £13 for a few days, so that pretty reasonable, the car parks dont have security thats the only thing.

The town itself is very pretty, it has little quaint streets with cobbled streets, and makes you feel like youve stepped back in time. When the town is busy however, it does feel abit dirty and tacky, so i prefer it when the peak season has ended, as its very busy otherwise.

There are some good shops in tenby, and you can get some very nice gifts, they also have a range of restaurants, some are very expensive but some a reasonable, check the prices on the outside first, my favourite is nanas, this is an italian restaurant which has views over the beautiful harbour, the food is great, but make sure you ask for an upstairs window.

The town is very colourful with pink and pastel painted houses, and is a great picture postcard. The town is famous for its fish and chips, we did try these, they were nice but im afraid ive had better. Be careful of the seagulls though, as they swoop down and pinch you chips!

There are many places to stay in tenby from hotels to guesthouses to apartments. We normally stay in a guest house, but after a very bad expereince we now stay in self catering apartments, which are probably more reasonable.

Tenby is close to oakwood park, and hetherton, oakwood park is probably my favourite place, theres lots of rides etc. Hetherton has fishing, shooting, etc. and is very good, but very pricey!

Overall i love tenby, its a lovelly town and one id throughly recommend

Summary: a great place for all the family
