About
About Porthleven Harbour
Porthleven grew up around its deep, granite-walled harbour, and the clock tower of the Bickford-Smith Institute at its entrance is one of Cornwall’s best-known landmarks. In winter storms, huge waves crash over the harbour walls.
Today the town is known for its restaurants and food festival, and Loe Bar and the Penrose estate are a short walk along the coast.
