Porthtowan Beach, St Agnes, Cornwall

A sandy bay with rock pools to explore located in An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The clean golden sands make this the perfect location. The South West Coast Path along the top of the cliffs towards Chapel Porth makes a wonderful scenic walk. Here are good coastal walks from the beach but if you are walking along the beach you should be careful of the tide.

Beach facilities include toilets (including disabled), cafe and lifeguard cover during the summer months.
