Overview
Porth Beach, just east of Newquay, is your classic British beach. Its golden sands, rock pools, and grassy dunes are the perfect spot to catch the sunset in the summer and watch storms roll in during the winter. Despite dealing with the debacle of unpredictable Cornwall weather, families flock to this beach during the summer to enjoy its sprawling tidal pools, great for beginner swimmers. The adventurous will explore the local Westcountry Surf School and Cornwall Waverunner Safaris for thrilling water sport experiences. There are seasonal restrictions on dogs during the summer, and lifeguards conveniently monitor the beach during busy summer months. The Mermaid Inn is the signature and sole pub actually on the beach, and the Scarlet Hotel across from the beach is a great a place to catch a few z’s. And be sure to shop at Roo's Beach where you can treat yourself to Porth Beach's signature lifestyle beachwear brand.
