St Davids : Profile

St. David’s Harbour has natural barrier reefs and a peninsula on either side, which makes it extremely safe. The low rolling hills surrounding the bay are covered with indigenous trees and plants including almond and palm trees. The bay enjoys clean water and white sandy beach.
