Set in a winding valley flanked by granite cliffs, Porthtowan has a great beach and a wealth of mining heritage.
You will find Porthtowan ideally situated for exploring all that Cornwall has to offer.
It is 10 miles from the Cathedral City of Truro, and within easy driving distance of St Ives, whose twinkling lights can be easily seen from Porthtowan’s cliffs as the sun sets into the bay.
Other attractions such as the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, together with the many National Trust properties are all easily accessible from this Cornish gem of a village.
Porthtowan’s Blue Flag Beach is the ideal location for your family ‘bucket and spade’ holiday, with life guards patrolling between 10am and 6pm seven days a week between Easter and October, making this a safe and fun place for your youngsters to while away their holidays.
Children will have hours of fun discovering the beach pool, rock pooling and playing in the sea. For the more adventurous, Porthtowan is renowned for its world class surfing waves.
You will be able to rent boards and wetsuits as well as take advantage of the surf schools, both for beginners and those who are more experienced.
Taking advantage of the après-surf, you would do well to visit the Blue Bar situated at the top of the beach, with its chilled-out atmosphere and interesting menu, all from locally sourced produce.
