PORTHTOWAN CORNWALL is a seaside holiday destination between St Ives and Perranporth, and close to Truro with a beautiful beach popular with surfers, day trips, and people enjoying a peaceful Cornwall holiday. Porthtowan, a charming village nestled on Cornwall's north coast, offers a captivating combination of golden sands, dramatic cliffs, and a rich history. Here's why you should consider Porthtowan for your next trip:
Porthtowan Beach is a haven for surfers, boasting consistent Atlantic swells and sandy shores. Renowned surf schools offer lessons for beginners and experienced surfers alike.
Even if surfing isn't your style, Porthtowan Beach offers something for everyone. Relax on the golden sand, build sandcastles with the family, or explore the rock pools teeming with marine life at low tide.
Porthtowan boasts a rich mining heritage. The remains of engine houses, relics from the area's industrial past, can be spotted in the vicinity. Learn more about the village's mining history at the informative interpretation boards scattered throughout.
The South West Coast Path snakes along the cliffs above Porthtowan, offering breathtaking coastal vistas. Hike towards St Agnes Head for dramatic scenery or explore the engaging rock formations in the other direction.
While Porthtowan itself might be a relaxed village, the surrounding area offers a wealth of experiences:
Wheal Coates Engine House: Explore the restored Wheal Coates Engine House, a testament to Porthtowan's mining heritage. Learn about the history of tin and copper mining through interactive exhibits and guided tours.
St Agnes Head: Embark on a scenic walk to St Agnes Head, a dramatic headland offering panoramic views of the coastline. Explore the historic St Agnes Beacon, a lighthouse dating back to the 17th century.
The Roseland Peninsula:Venture further afield to explore the Roseland Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Discover charming villages, hidden coves, and stunning scenery.
Head to the lively town of Newquay, a renowned surfing hub. Explore the shops, cafes, and restaurants, or catch a thrilling surfing competition.
Explore the historic city of Truro, Cornwall's capital. Visit Truro Cathedral, wander the cobbled streets, and discover the city's vibrant cultural scene.

You’re welcome I don’t usually do that as I always assumed people would get fed up of it but will do that more from now on

I had a thought that would be good for your overseas viewers, and would be at the beginning to show a map of Cornwall, with the area marked where you are visiting, just a suggestion if possible, i wish i had taken the time now while visiting Devon to include Cornwall, love dogs but someone please give that dog a bone, thanks again for the video.

My wife and I are coming here later this year for a week we have a small dog, I noticed there is a no dogs allowed sign on the beach but i see on your walk shows few dogs enjoying the sand and sea

I think it's dog friendly but I'd definitely check first
