Penarth Pier Pavilion

Wow... amazing atmosphere... the sky looks so close to the water.... its really beautiful, I can't wait to visit again.

Walked to Penarth from Cardiff Bay, across the tidal barrage. Spent a lovely afternoon, fortunately blessed with sunny weather, on the Pier. Sat and ate Fish and Chips and then later had an ice cream on the Pier. Beautiful day out.

Calm and relaxed beach with few ice cream and coffee shops. Had an amazing day out. I think there is parking closer to the pier itself, but we ended up worrying about not find any spots and parked a 10 minute walk away. Lovely walking space for both dogs and humans. Definitely recommend visiting this place.

If you catch it on a good day, this is a lovely pier to come to. You get gorgeous views over the water, there are several nice places to eat (the fish and chips smelt really good) and it's a lovely walk in either direction.

Lovely Pier to visit and was preferred to being at Brighton Pier. At Penarth, you get all the perks pf being at the British seaside (e.g., beach, olde sweet shop, ice cream, etc) but without the overly busy crowds.

Beautiful place to go for a walk. And nice pier.

I have posted videos with this review and If you love nature this place is worth the visit, I visited here at around 10 in the morning and there were very few people visiting at that time, however, that didn't stay the same for too long as there were a lot of people almost after an hour. The pier itself is beautifully situated and you'll surely enjoy your time there if the weather is by your side. There are various stalls and restaurants to keep your tummy full, there's a public toilet which is free, there's ample parking space. You can have a nice walk down the road, you can go down to the beach and sit and have a chat and overall have a good relaxing time.

A beautiful pier with gorgeous views. The parking is very limited but if you're lucky you can park very close for free for 2 hours. We had fish and chips which was very tasty and fairly reasonably priced from the shop at the start of the pier. Lovely place.

A fantastic day spent strolling around the Pier in the glorious sunshine. The Peir has been beautifully restored, and is a very pleasant place to spend time walking, or sitting on it's numerous benches, to relax and take in the views of the stunning coastline.

Penarth has a wonderful example of a well-preserved victorian pier. It was only spoilt by the locals who took it upon themselves to try and intimidate me into leaving. I had, hand on heart, missed the signs (in poly pocket, on lampost) that said 'no dogs' (all year round) and was quite prepared to leave when I notice quite permanent, enamelled signs stating 'no fishing' . Yet no one approached any of the 5 fishermen to ask them to leave. The 2 men that approached me were clearly far more comfortable intimidating lone women. I took my photos and left, deciding to have lunch somewhere friendlier and more accommodating.
