Portreath beach and harbour

Portreath Beaches

Portreath beach is sandy with shingle, popular with families and for surfing.

The beach is flanked by a harbour wall to the east and cliffs to the west with a stream running down the middle of the beach.

There are rock pools to explore near to the harbour wall.

Facilities include car parking adjacent to the beach, toilets, shops and cafes.

RNLI Lifeguards are on duty at Portreath beach from mid May to around the 20th of September. For more information about the lifeguard service - RNLI Area support centre Tel: 01872 572413 or email lifeguards@rnli.org.uk

Portreath beach has a dog ban from 1st July to 31st August between 10am and 6pm and is dog friendly outside these hours and from 1st September to 30th June.

Surfing at Portreath is divided into two distinct experience levels. Near the harbour wall is for experienced surfers only as the reef break here produces a powerful wave, the Vortex. The area in front of the beach is good for all levels of ability.
