Things to do in Pembrokeshire, Wales: The Best Islands
The diminutive Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, a dramatic area of 225 square miles in southwest Wales, was set aside as a national park in 1952 and comprises a large portion of the Pembrokeshire coast and its islands and the moorland hills of Mynydd Preseli. Rugged cliffs and coastal rock formations are home to boisterous populations of seabirds, porpoises, whales, seals and dolphins. Cycle, hike or sea kayak around the spectacular coastline. Bird watching and rock climbing are also popular.

This was a trip my wife and I had wanted to do for sometime and Puffins were top of our list of birds to see up close. Wow how amazing Skomer is, Puffins as you arrive, Puffins as you walk around and Puffins as you leave along with every bird you could imagine even some hunting owls which made me a happy chap. There is a fairly tough walk from the boat landing area to the island area itself and even though the walks around the island are clear they are still rough going so proper walking shoes are required. My only issue is the system of getting from the mainland to the island, tickets have to be purchased on the day from the National Trust shop on a first come first served basis, the first boat is at 10am and people were queuing from 5am, we arrived at 8am and only just got on the last boat at 12 noon giving us a 4 hour wait, just seems a pre-booking system would be better for all. That’s my only gripe but the wait was worth it.

St Catherine's island is home to a Palmerston fort and a WW2 Anti aircraft gun placement. Visitors the island are welcome. For opening times search Saint Catherine's Island on facebook it is the best place due to tides and weather.

This island has recently been re-opened to the public. Viewing hours are tide dependent, and although the fort is in its early stages of renovation, it is well worth a visit. There is a very good tour guide in the fort with a sit down 30 minute presentation on the history of the fort. Reminds me of the needles battery on the Isle of Wight.
