Description

Beautiful sandy Porthtowan Beach is tucked away on Cornwall, England’s north coast. It is well known for its untamed beauty, crashing waves, and breathtaking scenery and is sandwiched between the villages of St Agnes and Portreath. The beach’s stunning backdrop of high cliffs on three sides and dunes on the back adds to its allure. Surfers and bodyboarders go from far and wide to Porthtowan to ride its strong waves, making it a popular destination for them. It is perfect for both novice and expert surfers because of the steady swells.

Rock pools become visible during low tide, beckoning exploration and offering a look at the area’s varied marine life.
