Phase 2 of the Saundersfoot Harbour redevelopment delivered a £10 million project, transforming a functional harbour into a vibrant year-round destination. Comprising the Marine Centre of Excellence, Ocean Square, a replica Coastal Schooner, and The National Events Deck, the scheme integrates tourism, education, and high-quality community infrastructure. Planners navigated complex Conservation Area constraints and significant flood risks to unlock derelict brownfield land, creating over indirect 100 jobs across Saundersfoot. By balancing contemporary architectural innovation with sensitive historic restoration, the project has become established as a resilient economic hub and shared community asset that promotes accessibility, sustainability, and local enterprise.
