    Man’s Head is a rocky outcrop that, as you may expect, bears a striking resemblance to a man’s head, especially from the seaward side. As well as quirky geology, you are afforded a wonderful view out to sea and over Porthmeor Beach.

    Nice walk up from the town to see if you can find Man's Head. I've been many times, but I'm still not sure which rock formation is actually Man's Head.
