Portreath Beachfront

Portreath marks the start, or finish of the Cornwall coast to coast off road trail. There is an excellent cafe shack run by the Portreath Bakery on the seafront and lots of benches next door so you don't have to worry about getting your bike sandy to sit down with a beautiful sea view.

The beach is popular with experienced surfers and families. There are public toilets and a car park closeby.

Behind the harbour wall is Portreath Rock Pool, which is an excellent wild swimming spot when the sea is rough or for children. It was created by blowing a hole in the rock to create the pool and then adding a concrete dam. It is swimmable a few hours either side of low tide and is known locally as 'Rocky Pool'.

Beautiful beach to sit & have an ice cream👍
