Amroth is located at the start (or end, if you walk it the other way round) of the 186 mile Pembrokeshire coastal path, one of Britain's 17 long distance national trails. The coastal path takes you up the hill behind the beach on an old 'greenway' before dropping back down to Wisemans Bridge. At low tide, you can walk along the beach instead, to Wisemans Bridge or all the way to Saundersfoot if you prefer.

Behind Amroth beach is a pub, The New Inn, a 16th Century family run public house who serve homemade foods including local fresh fish. There's also a village shop and a cafe.

As this is a very popular family bathing beach, most of Amroth beach is subject to a dog ban from 1st May to 30th September. Only the very western and eastern ends, which are accessible except high tide, are exempt from the dog ban.

Amroth Beach is also famous for its petrified drowned forest. Occasionally, when the tide is very low, petrified tree stumps can be seen poking through the sand. They were growing in South Wales during the last ice age.

The beach stretches the whole length of Amroth village. Nearby are the National Trust owned Colby Woods and Gardens. The gardens are a must for visitors, particularly during Spring and Autumn. There are also open air theatre and family events usually happening throughout the summer.

Beach Awards:
Amroth beach is normally awarded a Blue Flag Award and a Seaside Award. Unfortunately, heavy rain during 2007 affected the water quality. This was a temporary problem and Amroth had it's Blue Flag back from 2009.
