    Tips

    September 11, 2023

    Portreath has an inner and outer harbour. The harbour was historically an important port and was one of the earliest industrial ports in Cornwall. Cornwall's first railway, the Portreath Tramroad, linked the harbour to the mines in Scorrier and St Day.



    Close to the harbour entrance is a white circular hut which is located on a raised section of cliff. This hut is known as 'Dead Man's Hut' and was initially the Harbour Master's lookout. The name originates from when the hut was used as a temporary morgue for bodies washed ashore.
