LOCAL BEACHES

Porthchapel is a south-west-facing beach lying in a sheltered location between Porthcurno and Porthgwarra. Seals are regular visitors and can often be seen from the beach swimming in the clear blue waters. As with many of the beaches in the area, access to the beach is difficult, involving a rock climb down from a narrow cliff path. As such it is only suitable for the fittest . At the end of the lane, park in car park in a farmers field and cross back over the lane and follow the path down to the cove.

Due to it’s relative inaccessibility, Nanjizel has remained more or less untouched and never gets busy. Most of the people you will see here are walkers doing the coast path.. Situated at the end of a short, shallow valley, the beach is a pretty boulder strewn cove with unusually clear water. There are an abundance of caves and interesting rock formations for those not content with taking in the view. Nanjizel is also a good spot for seal watching Dog Friendly all year TR19 6JJ
