Porth Beach is a great stretch of sandy beach just on the border of Newquay and just a short walk away is Watergate Bay. This beach is a popular family friendly beach ideal for children with a small stream running through the south side of the beach and at low tide rock pools to explore cornish marine life! Porth beach sits in a narrow valley with tall cliffs both sides making it very sheltered. Backing onto the beach is the Mermaid Inn with a beer garden that outlooks onto the beach and serving hot and cold food with beverages. Opposite this Inn are other food places and some clothing brands with coffee shops built into them.
St Levans Well is located in West Cornwall near the beautiful beaches of Porthcurno beach and Pedn Vounder beach the two top rated best beaches in Cornwall.
