Do you remember a day on the beach when you were a child? No speed boats, no jet skis, just a shop selling ice creams, snacks and beach toys with plenty of space to run and play. Well that could still be Porthluney beach today.

During the summer, under the management of Bob and Cathy Eden, Porthluney Beach Cafe and Shop has all you could want for an old fashioned day at the beach.

The large car park (charge payable May to September) means there will be no problem with parking and no walking miles to get to the sand and, as long as it's kept on a lead, even your dog is welcome.

In the winter an ideal spot for surfers, the perfect starting point for a walk along the cliffs, somewhere to spend a relaxing couple of hours with your fishing rod or just to sit in you car and listen to the sea. This beach has it all. Whether, basking in the summer sun or wild and windswept in the winter, Porthluney Cove overlooked by the castle has something for everyone and is the perfect family Cornish Beach.

Please be aware that there is no overnight parking on the beach and the gates are locked at dusk.
