Dyfed-Powys Police said the teenager’s next of kin have been informed after a major search involving coastguard teams and RNLI crews.
Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed a body was found during the search for a 15-year-old boy who got into difficulty at Marloes Sands, Milford Haven, on Sunday, August 30.
Three individuals initially encountered difficulty at the beach, though two were able to return safely to shore; the teenager visiting from Yorkshire remained missing.
Teams from the Coastguard and the RNLI launched a major search operation at Marloes Sands, a location within Pembrokeshire Coast National Park known for challenging sea conditions.

The Samaritans are available 24 hours a day to offer confidential support on 116 123, as support has been offered to the boy's family following the incident.
