Tresaith is a coastal village in the Welsh county of Ceredigion.

Situated in West Wales, Tresaith is part of the Ceredigion Heritage Coastline, which although not as well known as the Pembrokeshire National Park, offers similar walking and stunning views. There is an abundance of wildlife and flora. All kinds of seabirds can be spotted and regular sightings seals are made. Cardigan Bay is most famous for its resident bottle-nosed dolphin population. Dolphins can be sighted most days in the summer from the beach at Tresaith. There is an active sailing club here, the "Tresaith Mariners" with a mixed fleet of dinghies and catamarans. Visiting sailors are welcome to join in. Racing takes place on most Sundays throughout the season, with a safety boat on hand. Tresaith is a popular location for surfing too. In the right conditions, sets can reach 2 metres in height. Winter time is best for hardcore surfers and blazers. The new toilet block on the beach has changing/showers. There is a surfshop close at hand to cater for all equipment needs or post-surf refreshment.

The Ship Inn overlooking the beach offers food and accommodation, and is a popular meeting place for locals and tourists alike.

A waterfall, where the River Saith cascades over the cliffs into the sea, is a feature of the village.

Tresaith is between Aberporth and Llangranog; it is linked to the former by a two-mile coastal path.

The word "saith" means seven in Welsh and legend has it that, once upon a time, a king of Ireland had seven troublesome daughters. Having tried in vain to instill some element of control over the seven princesses the king finally lost his patience and ordered his daughters to be cast adrift in an open boat. The currents of the Irish Sea bore the craft towards the coast of Ceredigion and it beached here. The seven princesses fell in love with the sons of seven local Welsh families, married and settled down. Which explains why the settlement is called "Tresaith" - the town of seven.
