Porth Beach is a sandy family beach with rock pools and backed by cliffs. You have a great sand expanse at low tide, but this means it can be a good walk to reach the sea.
As one of the most exposed beaches within the Newquay area, this beach has a good swell with a surf break that varies depending on the position of the ever-changing sand bar. It is popular with novice surfers and bodyboarders.
Porth Beach has seasonal dog restrictions, prohibiting dogs from 1st July to 31st August between 10 am โ 6 pm.
Facilities include a car park, toilets, cafe, pub, shop and seasonal lifeguards. The beach is also only 20 -30 minutes from Newquay town centre.
