Porthcurnick

South Cornwall


A popular family beach near the port of Portscatho, which has become even more frequented thanks to the success of its beachside cafe, the Hidden Hut. Parking here can be tricky – you might be able to find a space on the hill leading down to the beach, otherwise it's often a good idea just to walk over from Portscatho.
