The Welsh beach only accessible by boat where white sands look like a tropical island

Caldey Island is a short boat ride away off the Pembrokeshire coastline and sits offshore near Tenby. The remote and beautiful island is one of the UK's holy islands and is renowned as an idyllic tourist attraction due to its ancient history, tranquil beaches, and woodlands.

Caldey Island has been inhabited since the Stone Age and has been home to many orders of monks since the Bronze and Iron Ages. The island has been owned by monks of the Cistercian Order since 1929 and they continue to pray, study, and work on the island within their monastery.
