Return of Summer Coastal Bus Services

Return of Summer Coastal Bus Services

Two popular bus services will be returning to the Pembrokeshire coast from this Saturday May 24th:

· The Puffin Shuttle (service 400, operated by Richards Bros) runs between St Davids and Marloes, via Little Haven, Druidston, St Brides and Martins Haven (for boat trips to Skomer Island).

· The Strumble Shuttle (service 404, operated by Richards Bros) runs via the coast road between St Davids and Fishguard, including Abereiddy (for the Blue Lagoon), Porthgain, and Strumble Head.

The Coastal Cruiser (service 387/388, operated by Pembrokeshire County Council) around the Angle peninsula will also revert to its summer timetable on May 25th. Please note, the first 388 service will depart Pembroke Dock rail station 10 minutes earlier, at 8:20am.

All three services will run daily from Saturday May 24th until Sunday September 28th 2025.

In addition, the Celtic Coaster (service 403, operated by Sarah Bell) around the St Davids peninsula will run an enhanced (half-hourly) timetable during half term (Saturday May 24th to Sunday June 1st) and throughout July and August.

These services have been developed by the Pembrokeshire Greenways Partnership with funding from Pembrokeshire County Council, the Welsh Government and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.

Councillor Rhys Sinnett, Pembrokeshire County Council Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services, said “Our coastal bus services are a key part of our local bus network, making it easy for both locals and visitors to get around the Pembrokeshire coast without having to use a car.”

Extra services will also be available in the Tenby area again this summer:

First Cymru’s Tenby Coaster, an open-topped double decker bus between Tenby and Saundersfoot will be returning, daily, between Sunday May 25th and Saturday September 6th 2025.

Taf Valley will be introducing additional journeys on the 351 service between Kilgetty and Tenby from Saturday July 19th to Friday September 12th, including a return journey on Sundays.
