Porthtowan Beach

Explore / United Kingdom / Cornwall

Porthtowan Beach is a large sandy beach popular with both surfers and families. The beach is also backed by a small dune area, and as the tide goes out, you have some rockpools to explore.

Porthtowan Beach has seasonal dog restrictions, not allowing dogs from 15th May to 30th September between 10 am – 6 pm.

To the northeast of the bay, you have a concrete dam in the rocks creating a nice tidal rock pool although you need to be aware of the tides as you could be cut off.

At low tide, you can take a walk along the beach to neighbour Chapel Porth, alternatively, lots of cliff-top walks in this tin and copper mining county.

Facilities at the beach include a large car park, shop, wetsuits and board hire, cafe, pub, toilets and lifeguards in summer.

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