Cabin Door, Pembrokeshire, also known as Cabin Island, is a small island located off the coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales. Situated in the Celtic Sea, this picturesque island is surrounded by clear blue waters and boasts stunning views of the rugged Welsh coastline.

Measuring approximately 200 meters in length and 100 meters in width, Cabin Door is a relatively small island but is rich in natural beauty and wildlife. The island is characterized by its rocky terrain, with towering cliffs and caves that add to its charm. The cliffs are home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills, making it a popular spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

Access to Cabin Door is limited, as the island is only accessible by boat or during low tide when a causeway is exposed. This adds to the sense of seclusion and tranquility that can be experienced on the island. Visitors can explore the rocky shores, take in panoramic views of the surrounding sea, or simply enjoy a peaceful picnic amidst the natural beauty.

The island is named after a small cabin-like structure, known as the "Cabin Door," which was once used by fishermen as a storage facility for their equipment. Although the cabin is no longer in use, its remnants can still be found on the island, adding a touch of history to the already captivating landscape.

Overall, Cabin Door, Pembrokeshire is a hidden gem for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. With its dramatic cliffs, diverse birdlife, and secluded atmosphere, it offers a unique and memorable experience for visitors.

Crow rock now missing its marker post.
Crow rock near neap high tide Now it has lost its marker post {possibly Oct 2010 when fishing vessel struck and foundered here } it will be, at spring high tides, completely awash and a very dangerous hazard. Seems probable that the cast iron sheathing has been hit by fire from Castlemartin tank gunnery range.
