Penarth is a seaside resort in the Cardiff urban area. It is located approximately 4 miles south of Cardiff city centre on the north shore of the Severn Estuary and the southern end of Cardiff Bay.

Penarth is a great day out with a number of things to do, places to visit and fantastic options for food and drink. Here are some of our highlights.......

1. The restored Art Deco Penarth Pier is truly special. It is home to the fantastic Waterloo tea coffee shop, a gallery and a cinema. 

*Top tip* Wake up early to see a spectacular sunrise from the promenade.

2. Penarth is just a stone’s throw from Cardiff Bay. Take a water taxi from Penarth Marina or walk, cycle or catch a land-train across the Barrage which forms part of the Wales Coastal Path.  

5. Penarth has a beautiful marina. Watch the world sail by while relaxing on the terrace of The Deck bar in the heart of the marina. Remember the factor 30 as this place is a real sun-trap.

6. Penarth is home to several fantastic independent food and drink businesses.

To eat out...Bar44. If we could eat here every day we would. A family run business, the focus at Bar44 is on impeccably sourced ingredients served simply. Always friendly staff and a great atmosphere this is one not to be missed.

To eat at home...the posh fish and chip company. The award winning Cardiff based fish and chip shop has recently opened its second store in Penarth town centre. Well worth a visit.

Fauvette...your local fromagerie. We love this place which specialises in artisan cheeses from the British isles and natural wines. 

On the go...pizza pronto@penarth station kiosk, an artisan pizza takeaway served from a hatch. Always fresh and delicious.
