Description
A short distance from Newquay town lies Porth Beach, a narrow stretch of golden sand. The headlands on either side shield Porth Beach from strong winds, making it a family favorite. The Porth Stream or Whipsiderry Stream meanders across the beach, creating a delightful spot for children to play. Trevalgue Head, also known as Porth Island, is a captivating headland accessible via a narrow footbridge from the beach.
A seasonal dog ban is enforced from 15 May to 30 September between 10 am to 6 pm. The RNLI lifeguards patrol from May to September. The beachside Mermaid Inn offers a range of delicious burgers and seafood. Parking is available opposite the beach, and toilets are provided for visitors.
