About
About Porth Beach
Porth Beach sits in a sheltered inlet just east of Newquay town centre. The sand slopes gently, the water is calmer than on the surf beaches, and at low tide there are rock pools to explore, making it a favourite with families.
A footbridge leads onto Porth Island, also known as Trevelgue Head, one of the most important Iron Age sites in Cornwall, with views along the coast.
