Tucked away in Wales lies one of the world's most exclusive beaches. It's so exclusive, in fact, that if you don't time your visit just right, you won't be able to see it at all.

This beach boasts stunning natural beauty, crystal-clear waters and towering cliffs offering breathtaking views over the sea. Nestled southeast of the charming Manorbier Village, Skrinkle Haven may be small, but its waters are ideal for wild swimming - and it even enjoys a surprisingly warm microclimate on chillier days due to its sheltered location.

It's often ranked among the UK's top beaches.

If you fancy experiencing this spot firsthand, be prepared to crawl through the narrow rocky tunnel leading from Church Doors Cove - situated between Manorbier and Lydstep in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.

Those daring enough to squeeze through will find themselves on a secluded sandy cove, encircled by towering cliffs, reports the Express.

Visitors must check tide times meticulously before embarking on the journey, and should never attempt to reach the beach when the tide is coming in.

If squeezing through rocks isn't your cup of tea, you can also reach this beautiful stretch of sand by sea.

Grab a pair of kayaks and paddle along the rugged coastline. The Pembrokeshire coastline was designated a National Park in 1952 and has since become a sanctuary for hikers and paddlers seeking coastal adventures.

It's important to remember that this beach is completely untouched and lacks any facilities, so ensure you pack any nibbles or water you might require.

If you don't manage to reach Skrinkle Haven due to unsuitable tides, or if it simply doesn't take your fancy, there's no need to fret.

Church Doors Cove, the entry point to the beach, remains one of the UK's most stunning coastal spots.

Its crowning glory is the dramatic archway, sculpted into the cliff by the sea, which bears a striking resemblance to grand cathedral doors - it's Wales' answer to Dorset's Durdle Door.

These magnificent natural formations are truly breathtaking and provide the ideal setting for capturing memorable photographs.
