Port Isaac is a small fishing village built into a cliffside with interesting buildings surrounding the port. The narrow and winding streets are full of white-washed old fisherman cottages made from traditional granite, slate fronted houses which many are listed as of historic importance. Port Isaac now is a beautiful port full of life, still has a small working fishing fleet but is now seen as a place that tourists flock to see the beautiful harbour and walk the narrow pathways around.
Plaidy Beach is located in South East Cornwall and situated near Looe. Plaidy beach is a small shingle, sandy beach and during summer can be a nice spot to miss the crowds around Looe. The beach is actually backed on to a residential area with a nice tranquil feel to it. High tide at the beach doesn’t leave much to work with so check the tide times before arriving. Low tide actually opens up the beach to revel some rock pools to explore Cornish marine life.
The south-easterly aspect of the beach makes it fairly sheltered and catches the sun. Whilst there is no lifeguard service the swimming and snorkelling are generally safe.
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.
