Cornish Walking Trails
Let's Visit Cornwall Together
Porthleven
Porthleven is a town on the south coast of Cornwall. It is a historic fishing port that offered refuge to vessels in the days of sail. Today is it a thriving tourist destination with an annual food festival.
There are several harbour side pubs offering excellent food, a fish and chip shop and bakery offering pasties.
Eating Out
Beaches
Porthleven has a beach to the south of the town. This is excellent for surfing and renowned for large breaking waves during storms.
Things to Do
The historic harbour has a rich heritage and is stunningly beautiful. There is a variety of souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants. Visitors admire the pretty, picturesque Cornish cottages and it is perfect for family beach days.
Our Perfect Day...
...would be a coffee in a cafe followed by a stroll around the harbour admiring the heritage, art galleries and souvenir shops. We would also look out for Reggie the Cat! After walking the South West Coast path towards Loe Bar, returning for a meal in one of the harbour pubs completes the day.
