Things to do in Porthleven

With cottage-lined streets that meander past Cornish cafes and crafts shops down to its pretty harbour and historic breakwater; life in the unspoilt fishing village of Porthleven on Cornwall’s beautiful south coast is unbelievably relaxing; and one that needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Perfectly positioned within close proximity of all that the area has to offer, the village’s three mile stretch of beach leads south-west to Loe Bar and Gunwalloe Cove, with the wonderful Praa Sands just a short drive away. Further afield lie the towns of Marazion and its famous St Michael’s Mount, as well as Falmouth with its fantastic Maritime Museum, while nearby Penrose Estate makes for a fantastic family-friendly day out.
