Situated between St Ives and Newquay, Porthtowan is well located for those looking to visit these popular coastal towns. It’s also secluded enough to escape the crowds and relax in a hidden area of Cornwall. Close to Perranporth and St Agnes, Porthtowan is perfect for exploring the sandy beaches in this area and enjoying the stunning views along the South West Coast Path.
'Porth' means 'beach' and 'towan' means 'dunes' in Cornish.
Could there be a more beautiful location for a spot of wild swimming?
Sheltered and calm, this hidden oasis has gloriously clear water.
Wander along the coast path, soaking up those stunning sea views.
Discover silky soft sand and glistening waves at Porthtowan beach.
Close to the rugged cliffs and a stunning sandy beach, yet sheltered by adjoining rolling fields; Porthtowan is in the heartland of traditional Cornwall. There is a vibrant surf scene in the village with a nearby surf school, surf hire facilities and lots of opportunity to enjoy outdoor pursuits. Although secluded, you’re also close to Newquay and Portreath which are both renowned surf spots. Read more on our blog about surf spots in Cornwall.
The Blue Bar beachside restaurant sits literally on the beach and serves delicious meals and bar snacks. There is plenty of outdoor seating where you can enjoy watching the waves and is exceptionally beautiful in the evening as the sun sets.
Nearby, you also have two pubs; the 17th century Victory Inn, and the Unicorn, both serving up fresh local food.
Situated on the South West Coast Path, Porthtowan is ideal for those looking to explore. Coastal walks in this area offer stunning ocean views but venture inland and you’ll find many examples of Cornwall’s mining heritage. Take the circular walk from Porthtowan to Chapel Porth and you’ll find Wheal Coates engine house and the mining remains of Chapel Combe.
There are seasonal dog restrictions on Porthtowan beach between 15th May and 30th September between the hours of 10am and 6pm. Outside of these hours it is dog friendly as well as being dog friendly between 1st October and 14th May. If you do bring a dog, the nearby beach of Bassett’s Cove is to the west of Porthtowan and allows dogs on the beach all year round.

We love Towan Valley, Trelawney is a perfect holiday home- it has everything you could possibly need. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Mrs Huffer Aug 2024
Trelawney is a great base from which to explore Cornwall's coast. The cottage is very comfortable, with all you could need. The kitchen is well equiped to cook a meal. The Hot tub is a lovely added bonus to relax in after a day's exploring. And there is plenty of outdoor space for dining alfresco. Aspect holidays were very helpful and responsive and we found the whole booking very easy and the arrival instructions and directions very clear and helpful. The beach is a 5 to 10 minute walk away....and there is a lovely coffee shop and ice cream parlour on the way...as well as two pubs/restaurants.....we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Thank you.
Mrs Howard Jul 2024
Stunning accommodation and location. Everything you could want is either provided or on your doorstep - or, you can always pop in to Newquay for a bit of retail therapy, which is only about a 30 minute drive. Would also recommend a visit to Godvery, which is absolutely stunning, and the cider factory is worth a visit too. Then there's the lovely local beach for relaxing, playing & surfing. What's not to love!
Mrs Hornsby Jun 2024
Had a fabulous week with friends exploring the southern tip of Cornwall.
There are dramatic clifftop walks and scenery right on your doorstep.
We enjoyed strolling down to the seafront and made good use of the local bars and restaurants.
The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable, and the jacuzzi in the garden was a truly relaxing and welcoming experience, especially after a day’s walking .
The kitchen is very well appointed, ideal for making a hearty meal if not heading for the Blue Bar.
Mrs Broomfield Apr 2024
Fantastic holiday home. Comfortable and spacious with all the amenities you might need during your holiday. The location was excellent for trips throughout Cornwall. Porthtowan is small, but perfectly formed. We had a wonderful holiday!
Mrs McHugh Feb 2024
We had a fantastic week at Trelawney, such a lovely property, equipped with everything you could need. So peaceful in the back garden I could have stayed there all week! Just a five minute downhill walk to a fantastic beach. Will definitely be back!
Mrs Thornhill Aug 2023
We (a family of 5) spent a week in Trelawney and enjoyed every minute. Quite and calm, lovely decorated and equipped with everything you need to have a perfect holiday. Restaurants with good food are within a couple of minutes walking and the beach is perfect either for swimming and bodyboarding. On rainy days, we were lucky to have the hot tub to warm up after a day on the beach. Definitely a place we have on our list to come back.
Mr Groth Jul 2023
Great location base to discover Cornwall. Towan Valley Beach lovely but dogs only allowed outside 10am to 6pm during Summer. Blu Bar lovely for drink at sunset, Cafe & Surf shop open in the mornings, Fish & Chip shop open most evenings. Small convenience store with most of what you need. Good location once you get down through the valley.
Mr Morris Jun 2023

Miss Neville Dec 2022
We did not want to leave! What a truly lovely relaxing holiday home. Trelawney was so spacious yet cosy, we enjoyed the property so much it was hard to tear ourselves away to the beach. The decor was lovely, and the kitchen had everything we needed for our Sunday roast. The hot tub and landscaped gardens really were the cherry on the cake. I don't remember the last time I relaxed this much. Fingers crossed I will be back next year!

I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. Everything looked new and stylish and very clean. The furnishings and bedding were great. There was lots of information available both before the holiday and in the house when we arrived. There are lots of walks locally and the surfing looked excellent although we are not surfers. Other good beaches are within 20 minutes drive. I will certainly return to Trelawney.
