What to wear?
For a trip to Marloes Sands we would recommend being well prepared when it comes to kit. As beautiful as the location is, the weather can be changeable so a waterproof jacket waterproof jackets are a must. When walking along the cliffs the landscape is quite exposed so a fleece or light down compresslite is the perfect item to pack in your bag for when the wind gets up to keep you warm and comfortable.
