Video of Porthcurno beach, popular with families on holiday with young children.  The beach enjoys a micro-climate as it is sheltered in almost every direction from the prevailing wind.

The cliffs and coastline around Porthcurno are officially designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  The South West coastal footpath passes through the area.   On the cliffs to the west of the beach is the world famous open air Minack Theatre.

The Barnstormers production of The Scarlet Pimpernel performed at The Minack Theatre in Cornwall UK, August 2007.
This clip illustrates the wonderful setting that enhances the evening performance looking out over the cliffs to the sea beyond.

From 1931 until she died in 1983 the Minack Theatre was planned, built and financed by one determined woman - Rowena Cade.
