Porthcurno Beach is a beautiful white sand, southeast-facing beach in the western corner of the lovely Porthcurno Bay. The beach has some protection by the cliffs on either side, but the beach has a deep shelf into the sea at high tide that adults would find challenging, so care must be taken with children.
Porthcurno Beach has seasonal dog restrictions, prohibiting dogs from 1st July to 31st August between 10 am โ 6 pm.
Facilities at the beach include a car park, toilets, cafe and lifeguard patrols during the summer, with access to the beach along a hard path through the trees from the car park.
This is a popular location as we would also suggest visiting the Minack Theatre in the cliffs to the west and, if you have time, to the east, Pedn Vounder Beach and the famous Logan Rock. This popularity does mean the car park can get very busy as many visitors use it to visit the theatre and museum rather than spend the day on the beach.
