Visit Porth Nanven

Porth Nanven, (also known as Cot Valley Beach or Dinosaur Egg Beach), is a dramatic location with ususual smooth bolders scattered over the beach. This is a beautiful part of the coast and great for hiking.

The only way to get to the beach is to follow the footpaths.

Looking out to sea, there are two off-shore rock formations known as The Brisons.

Keep walking along and you will reach another small cove called Progo Beach. If the tide is out you can see the arch formed in the rock.
