Porth, Roseland

Porth in Cornish means cove or beach and Porth has a beautiful, sandy beach.  It is a long, narrow beach with some shaley areas and rocky outcrops, ideal for rock pooling. 

It is accessed by a narrow road from Gerrans on the Roseland Peninsula. There is a small National Trust Car Park (honesty box), cafe and toilets. The beach is a short walk from the car park.

Facing east, it is a sunny beach, ideal for sunbathing. The waves break gently on the shore and swimming is relatively safe although the beach is not lifeguarded.  The villages of Gerrans and Portscatho are a couple of miles away. and offer cafes, pubs and other amenities.
