A new pier and pontoon at Tenby Harbour is being proposed by Pembrokeshire County Council to improve access to 'tripping' boats operating out of the harbour, taking visitors to Caldey Island, on sightseeing cruises and fishing trips.

It would also provide a facility for visiting yachts to be able to gain access to the shore either by directly mooring to the pontoon or by utilising a tender having anchored offshore.

The current arrangements are unsatisfactory, being inaccessible to people with a disability at any time, and utilising steep, narrow steps which can be slippery when wet.

The development is part of Visit Wales' Coastal Tourism Project, part funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government, to encourage tourism along the Welsh coastline.
