Newport Sands Beach in Pembrokeshire to undergo £350,000 upgrade

Newport Sands Beach in Pembrokeshire is set for a £350,000 upgrade. The project will add 52 new parking spaces, including more for disabled visitors, and improve beach access with ramps and new public facilities. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority previously restricted beach parking due to safety concerns, limiting access to emergency services. A petition was launched to reverse this decision, highlighting the impact on beach users, especially those with disabilities. The upcoming changes aim to enhance visitor services and accessibility at Newport Sands. The proposal will be reviewed by committee members on December 4, with expectations for approval.
