Hi Bud!!...I live nr Cross Hands and have started surfing this year...love Genneth and Newgale ..up west!!....camp site...pub...beach....say no more!!...a great safe beginners beach too and does get good swells!!! ...Genneth is nearer but in height of summer its as quick for us to fly up the motorway to Newgale..not as packed either....Im still sussing out all the choices down here....love it!!...hope to meet up sometime....Cheers Andy

.... ....know what you mean!!!....love going to Newgale...Broad-Haven's ok too....and have you tried Manobier yet....if you surf 'close in' it'll dump you on the beach...stick to the RHS its better!!!.. ..need to get out West more....and up t'other side...haven't been that far yet!!
