Marloes Sands (Welsh: Traeth Marloes) is an approx. 1.5 kilometres long remote sandy beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales, near the village of Marloes.
The surrounding cliffs are layered with red sandstone and grey shale. A feature of the beach is the Three Chimneys, three vertical lines of hard silurian sandstone and mudstone. There used to be four chimneys, but the fourth crumbled in a severe storm of 1954.
The area at the far end of the peninsula is named after a failed attempt to establish a deer park in the late 18th to early 19th century.
