The Beaches of South Cornwall - S39 - Porthallack Beach
This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike. Location: South Coast - ½ mile southwest of Mawnan Park your car at Mawnan Church. Face the church and walk forwards bearing to the right of the lychgate and between trees. Walk down the track and shortly over a high stile beside a gate. Pass the graveyard and continue down the path. Follow the route signed 'Public footpath: Durgan'. negotiate the steps and bear right along the wooded descent above the river. Cross the stone stile into a field passing the NT omega indicating that you are now leaving 'Mawnan Glebe'. Continue across the field looking left to Nare Point and keep left to walk beside a fence until you see the Coastal Footpath sign. Cross another stile onto a narrower path as it descends. The beach below left is Parsons Beach. Proceed along the path as it drops gradually. Pass a wooden seat to your left as you enter level with the mouth of the Helford River. Walk due west along Mawnan Shear and pass Toll Point grid reference SW782268. 
Next pass through a little copse of fir trees and through a kissing gate to enter a field. Keep left to drop down the slope to another kissing gate now about 30 minutes into your walk. The beach below you is Porthallack. Pass through another kissing gate and onto the beach. 
Make for the back of the beach and head up onto Trerose Estate property. If the tide is well out it may be possible to walk along the shore to the next beach westwards - Porth Saxon (Sawsen). Facilities
