Gorran Haven Beach and Harbour

Highlight • Beach

A small fishing and tourist village on the Cornish Coastal path with a nice beach, a couple of useful shops and a cafe. There's a good sized car park here with the coastal path either side offering not hard (for an experienced walker) circular routes with stunning views. This is a good start point for a walk or planned break point on a longer walk.

View of Chapel Point from Colona Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Cornish Coast path is always spectacular. This is a particularly nice section, not too rugged but great views. Cows and sheep are often to be found wandering this mostly isolated beach.

Portmellon Cove

Highlight • Viewpoint

Portmellon is a very small village and cove. The road closely hugs the sandy beach, which is completely covered by the sea at high tide.

There is a snack shack in the beach carpark and a pub next door if you are in need of sustenance.

If you approach Portmellon from the South West you will see the 'Beware Waves' sign on your left. Take heed on stormy days as the waves crash right over the road and can even hit the houses.

Nice little tour of the Cornish coast. Gorran Haven quickly turns into Gorran Heaven 😉 with hot cream tea 😍 on a rainy day like today
The old church in Church Town is always open and worth a visit - not only because of the self-crocheted cushions for your knees 😇
