Porthcurno Beach

Get to the bottom of the hit-and-miss path to Porthcurno, and you’ll feel as though you’ve stumbled into the Mediterranean - steeply shelving powder-fine sand, an almost luminous blue sea and cliffs sheltering you from the sea breezes.

Porthcurno Beach

Jun 2011
Mr Powell

With easy access along a well worn path from the car park Porthcurno Beach is truly beautiful. There is a tricky old path up to the Minack Theatre on one side but the short steep ascent is well worth making. A path up over the other side of the beach leads to a wonderful walk along the entire length of Porthcurno Beach (and further if you wish). Heed the warnings from the local coastguards - these people really do understand the local conditions.

Fantastic beach

Oct 2008
Mr Gray

This is an awesome beach, with deep soft sand which sticks to you and stays in the car for weeks! The whole bay from Logans Rock to Minack Rock is the most extraordinarily tropical blue-green, and the beach, being south facing, is a perfect sun-trap. Porthcurno has a large car park where you can normally find spaces even during the peak season. It's worth reiterating that the beach is steeply-shelving: an adult can walk 6 paces into the sea and be out of their depth, so do keep an extra eye out for young children.

	This is a stunningly beautiful beach. It isn't right for surfers, and shelves deeply. (There is a lifeguard in summer, during the day) Perfect for a picnic on a warm summer's evening.

Jul 2008	This is a lovely sandy beach which shelves quite steeply. When the tide is out you can walk round to the Logan Rock.
