The Beaches of West Cornwall - W16 - Porthtowan
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 - 4 miles north of Redruth
The name of this cove in Cornish means 'Cove of dunes'. There is a fairly level beach, even at high tide, growing considerably at low tide. There is a good car-park here and all the usual amenities are well situated. A number of holiday homes and chalets lie just behind the beach. Good cliff walks are possible: West about 3 miles to Portreath and East about 1 mile to Chapel Porth, with some great views of the north Cornwall coast on a fine day.
