About Milford Waterfront
Head out to the beautiful Milford Waterfront in Pembrokeshire for a whole load of family-friendly entertainment! Challenge the kids to a game of bowling, visit local attractions, explore Milford Marina (west Wales' only 4 Gold Anchor marina), or simply enjoy shopping and dining out. Whatever you fancy, it will be a wonderful day out for everyone!
Access to Milford Waterfront is free - you decide how much you spend based on what you choose to do and what your budget is. Visiting between Easter and October? Head to Milford Haven Museum and discover history dating right back to the Bronze Age with exhibits covering the fishing industry, whaling, boat building, the development of the refineries and much more. Or, if you prefer something a bit more active, Milford Beach Activity Centre has you covered, offering stand up paddleboarding and kayaking with beautiful views of the Milford Haven Waterway.
After all that fun, grab a bite to eat at one the cafes or restaurants, pick up some sweets from the traditional sweet shop, or enjoy a locally-made ice cream and take in the comings and goings of the boats at Milford Marina.
Don’t miss out on the seasonal fun! There are plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained throughout the year, especially around school holidays.

Dog-friendly
We're a Dog Friendly Waterfront
With so many lovely walks connecting to Milford Waterfront, it’s no surprise that dogs and their owners love it here.
We ask that dogs are kept on leads at all times and that owners take full responsibility for their canine companions and for cleaning up their mess.
Many of the shops and eateries provide water bowls to quench doggy thirsts and most have outdoor seating so that both dog and owner can relax a while and watch the world go by.
Varied attraction
From Viking harbour to whaling town, fishing port to national energy hub, Milford Haven has evolved from its industrial roots into a must-visit attraction for locals and visitors to Pembrokeshire.
With Milford Marina front and centre, Milford Waterfront is a great destination; lined with cafes and restaurants ready to serve you a true taste of Pembrokeshire; shops and galleries selling local works of art and crafts, and the latest fashions; a healthy selection of beauty and wellbeing businesses to look after your mind, body and soul; and delicious handmade chocolates and locally landed fish which you can buy to take home and enjoy (or sample in one of the restaurants!).
