Tenby, Welsh Dinbych-y-pysgod, market town and resort, historic and present county of Pembrokeshire, southwestern Wales. It is situated within Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on the western shore of Carmarthen Bay, about 10 miles (16 km) east of Pembroke.
Though Scandinavian settlement probably occurred there, the town essentially dates from the building of a Norman castle and walled borough in the 12th century; parts of the walls survive, but the castle is in ruins. Fishing has long been an important activity, and the fine beaches, cliffs, and attractive narrow streets have brought a flourishing holiday trade. Pop. (2001) 4,934; (2011) 4,696.
