As Maenporth is an east facing beach it is sheltered and with shallow water it is very popular with families. Behind the beach is a wetland, home to a variety of bird and wildlife. There is a beach cafe and remains of a shipwrecked trawler, Ben Asdale, are visible when the tide is out. She succumbed to the rocks on a stormy, snowy November night in 1978. 11 crewman were saved in treacherous conditions but tragically three died. It is possible to scramble across the rocks for a better view of her remains.
