Angle is a spectacular location right on the end of the southern Pembrokeshire peninsula in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Both West Angle Bay (which holds a Green Coast Award) and the nearby Freshwater West beach and sand dunes have been designated SSSIs. The estuary of the River Cleddau is known for its interesting and abundant bird life. The village has two pubs and a shop.

Castle Farm, around the corner from the village hall, provides camping at £3 per person per night. The farm also has a few caravans and a five-bedroom bungalow – contact 01646 641220 for more details.
