Whitesands Bay, right on the westernmost tip of the Pembrokeshire National Park, is a stunningly beautiful spot.
The bay boasts a wonderfully flat, white sandy beach which is a haven for surfers, but as an outdoor photographer I'm more interested in what's going on in the margins.
The beach is flanked by rocky headlands, and clambering up on the northernmost spur gave me this view out over a rocky cove next to the beach proper.
With rocks and pools in the foreground, a lovely crescent shaped bay and a dramatic eroded cliff in the background, it was no hardship to heave my camera and tripod up to this spot to capture the view.
