Porthcothan Bay Beach
Located south of Treyarnon Bay and just a short drive from St Merryn, this sandy sheltered beach is a family favourite. There is lifeguard cover and very few surfers here due to the cliffs sheltering the water from the swell, making it an ideal swimming spot.
The beach and surrounding clifftops were featured in Poldark and eagle-eyed visitors may spot specific settings. The beach is dog friendly year-round, and it links to the South West Coast Path, making it a great choice for walks.
