A very popular and often extremely busy beach. It is an enclosed bay with a sandy beach that can have some really nice waves and tends to pick up quite a bit of surf. The resultant conditions are typical beach break waves which can get pretty big. When it is big there is often a useful rip along the rocks at the northern edge of the beach, when its smaller it is a perfect place for beginners. It does get crowded however and is popular with surf kayakers.
Windsurfing here in SW and Southerly winds can be OK too and activities are zoned in the summer to try to avoid conflicts on such a busy beach.
There is a large car park right on the beach and in the summer often a long queue to get into it. Accomodation is available in St. Davids and there is a shop, cafe and toilets in the car park.
To find Whitesands bay follow the signs (and everyone else) from St. Davids.

Whitesands
Hi, I have a caravan just up from the beach at Whitresands and spend a fair
amount of time there.
I'm a traction kiter and have spent many a happy hour static flying on the
beach. What I would say is that as the beach is very busy during the summer
with loads of kids I wouldn't recommend buggy/boarding. There is just too
much chance of a collision.
Far more amenable during the winter when the beach doesn't get anywhere
near as many people on it.
The sand is fantastic hard pack and skudding on bare feet is top. You can
get from one end of the beach to the other in one go when the prevailing SW
gets going.
Fantastic place to be as the sun goes down. Magic.
