The ruined chapel of 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 Coastal Path.[2]

The ruined chapel of St Justinian is nearby and is a Grade I listed building.[3] The 1870s old lifeboat house,[4] 1911 lifeboat house,[5] St Justinian's Well (19th century over an ancient spring), and an early 20th century watchtower[6] are all Grade II listed buildings.

The bay on which St Justinian stands is known as Porthstinian.[7]
