Visit Porthbean Cove

Near Portscatho on the beautiful Roseland Peninsula, Porthbean Cove is a secluded beach that offers visitors a true escape into nature. This sandy and shingle beach, accessible only via the coastal path, promises a quiet and authentic Cornish beach experience.

Down the wooden steps to the beach, you’ll be greeted by soft sand interspersed with shingle, framed by rocky outcrops. At low tide, Porthbean Cove reveals its full beauty, with expansive stretches of sand and fascinating rock pools ripe for exploration.

The beach’s secluded nature makes it a perfect spot for those seeking tranquility. Often quieter than its neighbor, Porthcurnick Beach, Porthbean Cove offers a peaceful retreat where you can unwind to the sound of lapping waves and coastal breezes.

Porthbean Cove welcomes four-legged friends all year round, making it a perfect spot for a seaside walk with your canine companion.
