Visit Portheras Cove
Portheras Cove is a secluded and picturesque sandy beach located on the north coast of the Land’s End Peninsula in Cornwall, between the villages of Pendeen and Morvah. Known for its natural beauty, the cove is surrounded by rugged cliffs and offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The beach is renowned for its unspoilt beauty and tranquil environment, it’s ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the crowds. Despite the lack of facilities, its natural charm and the opportunity to see seals make it a favorite among nature lovers.
There is no lifeguard service, and the beach can experience strong rip currents, particularly at low tide. Visitors should exercise caution when swimming.
The beach is dog-friendly year-round, which adds to its appeal for pet owners.
