Mill Pond paddling beneath Pembroke Castle
Pembroke's water story is the Mill Pond (Castle Pond) — a tidal-barrage lake under the castle walls, not a scheduled coastal ferry. Paddle West (07342 741268) hires rowboats, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards from the old boathouse in the South Quay car park in season (roughly April–September, weather allowing).
This is not the Caldey ferry (Tenby) or Ramsey Island wildlife boats (St Davids). Call ahead on a dry day; prices and opening vary with the season.
