Porthchapel Beach

The nearest holiday accommodation in the area is provided by holiday cottages in Porthcurno. Lands End and Penzance also offer many catering options.

Seals are regular visitors to Cornwall’s south coast and can often be seen from the beach swimming in the clear blue waters. As with many of the beaches in the area, access to the beach is difficult, involving a rock climb down from a narrow cliff path. As such it is only suitable for the fittest.

There is restricted access for dogs on the beach from Easter to October. Cars may be parked in a field next to the village church of St. Levan, a short walk from the beach (around a half a mile), through a scenic wooded valley.
