The Beaches of West Cornwall - W10 - Porth Joke

OS Explorer Map 104 Redruth & St AgnesOS Explorer Map 104 Redruth & St Agnes

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: North Coast - 2 miles west of Newquay

Porth Joke Beach lies between the headlands of Kelsey Head and Pentire Point West. It is rather unspoilt as it is largely only known to locals and coastal footpath walkers. The beach itself is not very spectacular but may afford an opportunity to relax away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Newquay. It is known to locals as Polly Joke. Park at West Pentire.
