Porthgain from above

Porthgain, Pembrokeshire, Wales view map

Porthgain (Welsh for fair/beautiful port) is a village in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in Wales, located between St David's
and Goodwick, and just north of Llanrhian. It has a wealth of historical relics from its time as a prosperous industrial harbour in the
early 1900s.

The harbour, still home to local fishermen, can get very busy in the summer with recreational boaters. Other attractions and
conveniences include the Pembrokeshire Coast Path rambling up both sides of the harbour, the “Strumble Shuttle” bus, and the
Sloop, which used to be called the “Step In” when boats were able to dock beside the pub and the crews could step in. Porthgain
also has the Shed, a small bistro situated by the Quay and the Harbour Lights Gallery, which is located in the manager’s office
of the old works. [Wikipedia]
