About Porthcurno Beach

TailBlazr helps you find dog friendly places near you – including beaches such as Porthcurno Beach!

Porthcurno Beach is a hidden gem nestled in a picturesque cove on the Cornish coast, renowned for its soft golden sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters. It is surrounded by high cliffs, which provide shelter and create a sense of seclusion and tranquillity. Porthcurno is also famous for being close to the Minack Theatre, an open-air theatre carved into the cliffside, which offers stunning views of the beach and ocean.

To get to Porthcurno Beach, it’s best to drive, as public transport options are limited. The nearest town is Penzance, about 10 miles away, and from there, you can take a local bus or taxi to the beach. There is a car park nearby, though it can fill up quickly during the peak season, so early arrival is recommended.

Dogs are allowed on Porthcurno Beach from October to Easter, but are restricted during the summer months to protect the beach’s cleanliness and the enjoyment of other visitors. The beach is well-maintained and has facilities including public toilets and a small café offering refreshments.

Porthcurno Beach is ideal for families and couples seeking a peaceful day out, away from the more crowded beaches. The waters are generally calm, making it a safe spot for swimming, though there is no lifeguard service outside of peak season. The stunning scenery and clear waters also make it a great spot for photography and exploring the surrounding coastal paths.
