Mawgan Porth Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Mawgan Porth is a much quieter alternative to the very busy Newquay. With gorgeous sand and stunning clifftops, its a surprise that it doesn't get more crowded when it's only 4 miles from Newquay. Even at high tide there is a lot of sand and life guards are present during the summer (May till September).

There are pubs, restaurants, shops and cafes nearby and it is a Sunday Times award winning beach.
