Tresaith...
Tresaith is very popular with tourists because of its picture perfect scenery and lovely sandy beaches. The myth of how it got its name also adds to the character of the place.
In English “saith” means seven and legend has it that, long ago, the king of Ireland had seven annoying daughters that he cast to sea because he couldn’t control them. Luckily for them the boat came ashore on the Ceredigion coast and the seven princesses settled down and fell in love with seven locals. Tresaith… the town of seven.
If you like walks Tresaith is known to have a great coastal park that links it to Aberporth. At low tide you can also walk along the shore all the way north to Penbryn. If you are thinking of doing this you MUST check the tide times first.
Before you walk away from the village the one thing you must see is the waterfall that joins the river Saith at the top of the cliff to the beach below. It can be stunning so don’t forget your camera.
Parking can be a pain during the summer time so get there early in the day to make sure you get a space. Unfortunately there is no disabled parking.
Tresaith does not have many shops but it does have a café and a pub. The Beachcomber Café serves hot and cold drinks, snacks, and it even sells buckets, spades and wetsuits for the beach. At The Ship you can get good pub food whilst having a great view of the beach. Tresaith is a good beach for families because its very safe for swimming and has public toilets close by.
Directions:
Turn left out of the park. At Synod Inn, turn right onto the A487, drive towards Cardigan for 6 miles. You will pass through Sarnau, past an old Texeco Garage on your right, carry on for another mile. Take the next turning right opposite the fresh farm produce shop on your left...be careful as this turning is on a bend. Drive for another 2 miles you come to Tresaith.
