This charming and comfortable beach front apartment overlooks one of Cornwall's most beautiful and renowned surfing beaches.
The sand and surf of pretty Porthtowan, are just yards from the apartments large balcony, facing west into the setting sun. Porthtowan itself is like a secret, secluded village, nestled around natural sand dunes and a crystal clear, bubbling stream that runs down to the sea.
The village has a local shop, post office, fish & chip shop, plus beachside pub and first class cafe, as well as an excellent Cornish ice cream parlour. Last but not least, the ever popular, beachside Blue Bar restaurant is a wonderful place to eat and drink as the sun sets into the Atlantic. Everything is within a short walking distance from the apartment.
To the left and right, beautiful cliff walks climb up on either side of the sandy bay, giving dramatic views of the Atlantic. Go left, 4miles to Portreath in the west, or climb right, to Chapel Porth and St. Agnes in the east, and enjoy a stunning 4 mile cliff walk, passing ancient tin mines (real Poldark country), to arrive in the beautiful, Trevaunance Cove.
All the landscape pictures shown with this property are of Porthtowan beach, and the walk to the next bay, Chapel Porth, via the beach, returning along the cliff top path. The sunset shot was taken on Pothtowan beach, June 19th 2023.
