Inside, the pub maintains a relaxed, informal vibe, with wooden tables, coastal touches, and a warm welcome from the staff. This combination of good food, sea views, and a pet-friendly policy makes The Freshwater Inn a practical and enjoyable choice for those exploring the area on foot or by car.Practicalities and Atmosphere
The pub is easy to reach by car, with an adjacent car park that simplifies access, especially on busy days. It’s a short walk from Freshwater East beach, making it ideal for a post-swim or post-walk meal. The interior is cosy and unpretentious, with a focus on comfort rather than luxury, while the outdoor area is best enjoyed in dry, mild conditions. Opening hours can vary seasonally, so it’s wise to check ahead, particularly outside peak summer months. Overall, The Freshwater Inn strikes a balance between a proper local pub and a visitor-friendly stop, offering good value and a genuine taste of coastal Pembrokeshire life.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
