This is a great little Cornwall Village. It has a great village store and Post office also. The local pub is The Plume of Feathers, and you can get great Pizza at Tatams on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings as well as great coffee on the water with a great view. Also The Harbour Club is a great place to drink and relax. The small habour has lots of local fishing boats. There is a great to walk to St Anthony's Head.

Hiking

The sheltered cove of Portscatho made it the perfect place for the pilchard fleets of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Even today, the village is an active fishing port. Due to its shelter, swimming is safe and there is plenty of sandy beach to enjoy.
