Portreath Beach – Large popular beach with fine sand
Portreath Beach
The large beach has soft fine sand, with shingle below the shore line, that is popular with families.
The harbour wall and “rocky” is popular with surfers for its “vortex” surf break. There is disabled access to the beach, and some designated disabled parking spaces in the car park that overlooks the beach.
Refreshments may be obtained from the Beach Café or The Retreat Restaurant & Take-Away which has a relaxed atmosphere with comfy sofas. There are two surf/beach shops and an amusement arcade for families located on the seafront. Public toilets are also available close by.
