Milford Haven is aptly named for its shelter from all wind directions once you are safely inside the waterway. On the outer reaches, there can be a lot of large boat traffic but you will find plenty of space if you keep to the small boat channel.

| The Dale Pontoon is busy in summer |
The little village of Dale at the entrance to the Haven has deep water pontoons and also a floating pontoon for small craft which we were able to moor up to for a pleasant overnight stay. Keep the lines loose so that when the tide goes out, the pontoon can settle back on the sand rather than hanging off the side of your bilge keel boat, it has happened!
The River Cleddau is the main artery for the estuary and has a modern marina with over 300 berths. Further up, the village of Lawrenny is popular for small boats and has moorings and a quay, it lies just beyond the confluence of the Cresswell and Carew Rivers. Cresswell Quay is situated at the head of the upper navigable reaches of the Cresswell River, and is a fine spot but is best only attempted in company with experienced locals because of the narrow channel.
