Its boundaries, delineated on official maps deposited with Pembrokeshire County Council, extend to incorporate coastal stretches from Stackpole Quay in the west to Linney Head in the east. These boundaries follow natural and infrastructural features, such as roads and watercourses per standard administrative conventions.

 The physical landscape of Stackpole and Castlemartin in Pembrokeshire, Wales, is characterised by a dramatic coastal zone and varied inland terrain, shaped by geological processes over millions of years. The area features prominent limestone cliffs along the shoreline, rising sharply from the sea and forming natural amphitheaters such as those at Stackpole Quay. These cliffs, rising to 40-80 meters in height, are interspersed with sandy beaches and expansive dunes; notable examples include the pristine Barafundle Bay, a west-facing crescent of fine sand backed by marram grass-stabilized dunes, and Broadhaven South, known for its secluded coves. This coastal stretch forms a key segment of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and is traversed by the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a 186-mile long-distance footpath that highlights the area's rugged beauty and accessibility for walkers.
