St Justinian

St Justinian (or St Justinian's[1] or St Justinians) is a coastal location in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in the community of St Davids and the Cathedral Close. It is named for Justinian of Ramsey Island. There is a small harbour housing the St Davids Lifeboat Station, and a private residence. The harbour is used for boat trips to Ramsey Island, and for kayaking and speedboat trips. It is a popular access point for the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.[2]
