Holidays in Portloe

Situated on the Roseland Peninsula, Portloe is a small and sheltered fishing cove, much unchanged over the years. Once a thriving fishing village, fisherman today still land lobsters and crabs at the harbour.

Due to its steep cliffs and valley-like cove, this concealed village has a fascinating history of smuggling in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Enjoy lunch or dinner at the local pub, The Ship Inn, serving traditional pub meals and fresh seafood.
