Tenby is a small coastal town in the south-west Wales. In the past the residents of the town made their living mostly from fishing, whereas today tourism is the main source of income. It seems that Great Britain is not the best place for people who would like to enjoy their holiday on the beach, however, Tenby belies that assertion. The town has as many as four large sandy beaches, and one of them called Tenby Harbour Beach was awarded the title of the best beach in Europe by the organization called European Best Destinations, outdistancing beaches in Greece and Portugal. A number of criteria were taken into consideration including the quality of water, opinions of tourists and beauty of landscape. The medieval defensive wall surrounding the old town as well as the beautiful buildings in the town are considered as additional attractions of that place.
