Porthallow
Like many of the coastal villages around Cornwall, Porthallow was once a busy fishing port where pilchards were the main catch. A few fishing boats still remain at Porthallow and it is also popular amongst anglers who fish from the rocks on each end of the beach.
The beach itself is quite shingly and is backed by a large car park so access is easy.
