Trefor beach and jetty On a cold but sunny day the lifeguard on duty had no customers to watch over. The sheltered beach can become quite crowded at weekends in the summer. Several small boats are moored on the beach. A slipway provides access to the water from the road. The stone jetty has a disused wooden pier at its end.
