Cirdan did have a beard for sure. I think there has been a thread discussing this topic. Accor4ding to some source, I think it is the Osanwe-Kenta, elves could grow beard when they were in their 3rd cycle of life, whatever that means. Another theory appear in David Day's book from 1978, don't remember the name. There is a picture of Cirdan and some elves from Falas, all having small beards (!). But Day is usually wrong.
There is also a picture by Tolkien of Beleg with something that might be a beard.
