A place of peace and tranquility, Porthmeor Cove is particularly lovely at low tide when the sandy beach is exposed. But as a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), even at high tide, its boulders and rock pools are fascinating to explore.

You will rarely meet many other people here as it is off the beaten track and only accessible by footpath.
