Latest reviews on Portscatho's beaches

Gyllyngvase Beach
10 Drew Bark

What a stunning shoreline! The sea is so transparent that you can see the bottom. The sand is spotless, and there are plenty of amenities nearby, including parking, restrooms, and a fantastic beachside café.

Porthcurnick beach
10 Jemma

This stunning beach is perfect for families and their furry companions to enjoy. The crystal clear waters and soft sand are accompanied by intriguing rock pools that emerge during low tide. Additionally, there is an acclaimed cafe located just a short stroll away from the beach, which has received numerous accolades.

Swanpool beach
10 Jamil Farid

This stunning beach is an ideal location for families and those looking for a refreshing swim. Even in the late afternoon, we were captivated by the sight of children frolicking in the cool waters. Despite the overcast weather, the crystal-clear water glistened like diamonds. The beach is immaculately clean, with a mixture of sand and shingle that adds to its charm. A nature reserve is located opposite, and a pay and display car park is conveniently situated nearby. We would undoubtedly return to this breathtaking beach for another unforgettable experience.

Pendower Beach
10 Lara Z

This beach is a hidden gem, ideal for a peaceful dog walk and a swim, even on overcast days. The descent to the beach is a bit steep, but it only takes a minute or two, so it's not a big deal. 😊

Carne beach
10 Liliana Andersson

Without a doubt, this beach was the highlight of our year. The sand was incredibly soft and the water was just the right depth for young children to enjoy. We were pleased to find that there were plenty of facilities nearby, yet the beach remained relatively peaceful despite the beautiful weather. However, there was one minor issue we encountered. The car park can be a bit of a challenge, particularly if you arrive after 10am. While National Trust members can park for free, others must pay either with cash or through the app. If you want to secure a spot, it's best to arrive early and avoid the inevitable crowds that arrive during peak season. But if you do manage to snag a spot, you'll be in for a real treat.

Towan Beach
10 Drew Bark

This so-called beautiful beach might as well be on the moon for how far away it feels. Sure, there's a coffee shop nearby, but what's the point if you have to trek through the Sahara just to get there? And don't even get me started on the heat. Unless you want to feel like a rotisserie chicken, I suggest you steer clear of this place. But hey, if you're a glutton for punishment, go ahead and make the trek. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
