A flat 20 metres from the sand.
A lovely large cottage within a few metres of the beach at Porth.
Situated between Newquay and Watergate Bay on the rugged North Cornwall coast, Porth is a large, west-facing sandy beach, sheltered by headlands on either side with a cafe, restaurant and pub right next to the beach.
When children draw a seaside scene, they draw Porth. Streams, rockpools and caves beg to be explored, whilst a sweep of beach provides ample terrain for sandcastle building and sand-fairy making. Families, adventurers and explorers of all ages will lose hour after happy hour here.
A narrow wooden footbridge leads to Porth Island, a headland full of history. Watch in awe at mid tide, particularly on windy days, as the blow hole shoots rainbow sprays of water. Embrace the theatre of Porth Island any time of day or all year round; just wrap up warm and bring a camera to capture dramatic sunrises and storms alike.
Back down on the beach, melted strawberry ice cream drips down sides of candy cones and sizzling tapas is served at Porth's beachside eateries. Once you've soaked up the Porth scene, try heading towards Newquay's bays, up the coast path to Whipsiderry and Watergate, or towards the rolling cliffs of Mawgan Porth and Bedruthan Steps.
"Fabulous cottage and so convenient for the beach, I was in the sea 5 times in one day. The patio is a total suntrap for drying off. Nipping out for a morning coffee from the Hole in the Wall or breakfast at Gwenna Tea Room was bliss. I can't recommend this property enough. Every little thing we needed Beach Retreats had either already thought of it or were on hand. The view of the sunset is spectacular and the beds are so very cosy.

"It's such a beautiful property, and Beach Retreats had done an amazing job of leaving everything we'd need for our stay (even putting up Christmas decorations, which was a wonderful touch!). Thank you.
