About

Tenby's South ward encompasses the historic town centre and its picturesque harbour, nestled within the medieval stone walls. The area is defined by its geography, sitting on a peninsula with sandy beaches like North and South Beach flanking it. Narrow, winding streets lined with Georgian and Victorian buildings lead down to the waterfront, where the tidal harbour shelters small fishing and pleasure boats.

The ward includes St Julian's Street and the iconic Five Arches barbican gate. Life here is closely tied to the sea and the seasonal rhythm of tourism. The town's past is visible in the ruins of Tenby Castle on Castle Hill, overlooking the harbour entrance. Colourful cottages on the harbour's edge are a characteristic feature of this part of the coastal community.
