Porthglaze Cove is situated between the villages of Pendeen and Morvah, and lies on the South West Coast Path between Zennor Head and Gurnard's Head.
The cove is surrounded by rugged cliffs and offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. It is renowned for its unspoilt beauty and tranquil environment, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the crowds.
Despite its natural charm, the beach lacks facilities and has no lifeguard service. Visitors should exercise caution when swimming, as the beach can experience strong rip currents, particularly at low tide.
The beach is a favorite among nature lovers, with the opportunity to see seals. It is also dog-friendly year-round, which adds to its appeal for pet owners. The spectacular seascape views make it perfect for coastal walkers.
Porthglaze Cove is on the Penwith Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
