Porth

Originally a separate village, with its own shipbuilding yards and pilchard cellars, Porth has now been engulfed by its larger neighbour Newquay. However, the beach at Porth still brings visitors and is ideal for families - very wide with lots of room to build the biggest and best sandcastles and then to explore the many rock pools. Porth beach is regarded as one of the safest beaches for swimming in the Newquay area. A spectacular feature of the beach is the blow hole at the end of the island which can be seen at mid tide - especially on windy days. Trevelgue Head (Porth Island) becomes an island at high tide. An Iron Age fort once stood here, the ramparts are still impressive and the site is most dramatic when a heavy sea attacks the cliffs.
