You can see a different coastal sight every day to occupy a long holiday, Some of the best of the less spoilt beaches are Marloes Sands,  Musselwick Bay, Abereiddy, Porthgain [industrial archaeology,] Trefyn and Pyllderi. St David's Head is a great headland, with its own cromlech and the cliff area around Strumble Head lighthouse is immensely picturesque.

If you are lucky you will see dolphins and seals and the wild flowers are as good as anywhere in the UK, often spread out all over the cliffs like monstrous blankets.

However one very distinctive sight is not a natural wonder at all but the enchanting village sized city of St David's and the adjoining Bishop's Palace of the same red sandstone. The city and its cathedral were built so as to be invisible from the nearby coast which is  on three sides. Hence the tower is one of the lowest in the UK but it is nevertheless an architectural treat.
