Marros Sands

[1] The land to the north of the beach is formed from cliffs and hillside that slopes steeply up towards Marros Beacon.

It was described in 1844 as "a fine sandy beach, a few miles in length, and well-adapted for sea-bathing from the shallowness of the water for a considerable distance from the shore"[2] and more recently as "relatively unspoilt" when compared to the tourist honeypots nearby.

[3] An area of submerged alder, oak and willow forest 100 m wide and 2 km long and dating from 4000/6000 years ago can be seen at low tides.

On 8 December 1886 Rover a 71 ft schooner carrying a cargo of culm from Saundersfoot to Wexford was deliberately beached on Marros Sands in a Force 11 gale to avoid sinking.

[7][8][9] Along with Pendine Sands the beach forms part of the Marros-Pendine Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest.
