Porthtowan
A huge lovely beach and miles of
cliff walks, but Porthtowan is not really a beach resort and is hardly
big enough to be called
a village. There are a small
number of shops and Inns leading down to the beach, making this a gloriously
peaceful beach venue (one and a half miles of beach at low tide), surrounded
by lovely cliff and beach walks. There is a convenient and large
car park adjacent to the beach. Surprisingly, the free parking spaces
outside the car park are often available in June and September and sometimes
in August. Also next to the beach are a few shops and cafe/restaurants
and also a bar. Often outdoor barbecues put on by the cafe/restaurant
owners. Just south of the village pop into Reg Morse's Farm Museum
with over 1,600 machinery and domestic farm implements.
