Porthcurno Beach

Explore / United Kingdom / Cornwall

Porthcurno Beach is a beautiful southeast-facing sandy beach in Porthcurno Bay. The beach is protected by high cliffs on either side. You may well have seen this beach before as it is probably one of the most photographed Cornish beaches.

Porthcurno Beach has seasonal dog restrictions, not allowing dogs from 1st July to 31st August between 10 am – 6 pm.

Facilities at the beach include a car park, toilets, cafe and lifeguard patrols during the summer, with access to the beach along a hard path through the trees from the car park.

This is a popular location as we would also suggest a visit to the Minack Theatre on the cliffs to the west, the PK Porthcurno museum and if you have time to the east the dog-frioendly Pedn Vounder Beach and the famous Logan Rock.

If you want more information on the area visit our local Penzance Destination page or our regional Cornwall Destination page.
