Porthtowan Beach just 5 minutes from Tehidy Holiday Park

Described by Visit Cornwall as a ‘soft sandy beach, surrounded by sheer cliffs’, Porthtowan is one of North Cornwall’s best family-friendly beaches.

There’s a children’s play park and families will also find a wealth of rock pools to explore along the coastline.

Porthtowan has lifeguards from May 4 until September 29 and it’s considered one of the region’s best surfing beaches.

Even better – it’s been awarded Blue Flag status for the 2024 season, which means it meets the highest standards of seaside water quality.
