Wisemans Bridge is a small hamlet and holiday resort on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path between Amroth and Saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is part of the community and parish of Amroth.
In the 19th century local high-quality coal was shipped out of Wisemans Bridge in vessels of 50 or 60 tons. The footpath linking Wisemans Bridge and Coppet Hall beach was once a railway track used to transport coal to Saundersfoot Harbour.
In 1943, Winston Churchill visited the area as the allies practised for the D Day landings.
