Porthgwarra Cornwall UK From The Air Near Lands End {DJI Mini 5 Pro}

#Porthgwarra In #Cornwall is a picturesque, secluded fishing cove on Cornwall’s rugged south-west coast, nestled in the parish of St Levan between Land's End and Porthcurno. Famous for its crystal-clear waters, hand-carved rock tunnels, and appearance in the TV series Poldark, it offers a tranquil coastal escape. Highlights & Features Hand-Carved Tunnels: Unique 19th-century tunnels dug by miners. One leads to the beach, allowing horse-and-cart seaweed collection, while the other leads to the sea for storing shellfish. Beaches & Rockpools: A small sandy beach is revealed at low tide, with abundant rockpools perfect for exploration. The Porthgwarra Cove Café: A tiny, beloved local spot located just off the slipway where visitors can grab a traditional Cornish cream tea or a pasty. Wildlife & Birdwatching: The dramatic granite cliffs—especially near Gwennap Head—are highly popular for spotting seabirds, dolphins, basking sharks, and rare migrating birds. Scenic Walks: The South West Coast Path runs directly through Porthgwarra, offering scenic walking routes toward Land's End or Porthcurno. Visitor Tips Parking & Amenities: A car park (postcode: TR19 6JP) is situated at the top of the village, along with public toilets and a small shop. Tide Times: Swimming from the slipway is best at high tide, while low tide exposes the sand, caves, and tunnels. Dog Bans: Dogs are typically banned on the beach from July 1st to August 31st (10 AM to 6 PM). Accessibility: Access to the beach is via a paved slope, which is quite steep.
