Little Tamerisk - view west overlooking the beach
Seasonal Photo's - updated 24th June 2009



The current run of hot and sunny weather continues here in Porthleven. Low tide on the beach makes it look quieter that it is and the calm seas only being rippled by a light easterly breeze. 24th June 09

In April and lovely day for a coastal walk taking up to two of the most photographed locations in Cornwall. Kynance Cove and Lizard Point. 12Apr09
April here below us on the beach. 10apr09

About 2 1/2 miles west along the coast and at Rinsey. The mine stacks can be seen from Porthleven perched on cliffs. The left photo is in the direction back to here. We parked up and took the short walk the other way inland to Praa Sands (pron. Prey) and back on the coast path. The sunny day catching this popular fine sand and surf beach at it best. 22mar09
A nice sunset ending a dry and at times a sunny day here in Porthleven. As spring approaches and the sun sets over the Lands End Peninsula we will soon loose it dropping over the sea for the summer. 17feb09

Down on the beach on a nice morning. On the tide line as it is starting to come in. The excuse is to grab some seaweed for the garden. We normally do this in Autumn and just lay it as a mulch on the bare beds. It rots down over the winter and makes a lovely soil conditioner. Sat 7Feb09

Back to the normal winter weather and looking at the pier and surf again. top left it looks like a clean up set is bearing down on the surfers. Top middle: A few moments later and this fishing boat is heading back to port. Top Right: In a lull it is safely just passing the pier head. 5Feb09


	A cool and dry start to the day and great to see such a vivid sunrise at about 7.40am. By mid morning though the clouds had amassed and it started to rain. but this was a treat while it lasted. 8dec08

Down on the harbour side in the morning when the sun has yet to reach this side. Mon 22nd Sept.

Welcome to Porthleven

We are a local family business offering a selection of seven of our own individual self-catering accommodation sleeping up to 7 persons in the beautiful harbour village with 3 miles of beach, of Porthleven.

We are ideally positioned along the coastal Loe Bar Road. Where is this? Have a look at Contact Us for our location and village maps. But they are grouped together on or around the cliff top, overlooking the beach and Mounts Bay.

We have parking for each property in our own off road car park, which is only a minutes walk from all the A ccommodation.

Steps to the to the beach are only 40 metres away, which is ideal for swimming or a stroll on the sands. And it is only a few minutes walk down to the pier and centre of the village and harbour side, which is surrounded by a variety of cafes, shops, bakery, restaurants and pubs.

Porthleven is also an excellent holiday base for seeing this part of Cornwall. To the west, Penzance and Lands End. The east, the Lizard Peninsula. Inland the attractive cathedral city of Truro.

If you want to leave the car behind, then for walking or cycling, its out of your front door and onto the coast path or Cornish lanes. Heading either east or west with spectacular views all around. Look at our "Walking and Cycling Cornwall" page.

What else is there to do here? If you don't fancy a stroll about the harbour and shops, a coastal ramble, scenic drive, swimming, sunbathing and playing on the beach on the beach, fishing or boat trip or taking it too easy. Then look at our "What's On?" guides for events happening in Porthleven and west Cornwall.
