Ocean Blue, Porthtowan

Ocean Blue is paces from Porthtowan Beach and has gorgeous sea views from the living room and balcony. Set amidst this coastal hot-spot in a vibrant village community, there are foodie pubs, a delicious deli cafe, the famed Blue Bar cafe/restaurant and a little supermarket all within a few minutes walk. Porthtowan Beach is ideal for play, picnics and swimming, with surf school, boards and wetsuits for hire and seasonal lifeguard patrol. Ramblers will enjoy the scenic delights along the coastal footpath. There are so many beautiful beaches to discover along the north Atlantic coast. Trevaunance Cove at St Agnes is a worthy walk; reward yourself with a real ale and hearty grub from the famed Driftwood Spars inn. Maritime favourite Falmouth on the south coast is reached within a half hour drive. Peruse the harbour, choice of beaches, museum, eateries for all appetites and galleries lining the charismatic lanes. What more do you need from a beside-the-sea bolthole?

Porthtowan is a small village resting on west Cornwall’s beautiful coastline, renowned for its Blue Flag beach, which at low tide exposes almost a mile and a half of fine, golden sands. Fringed by impressive granite cliffs, the beach is a popular surfing venue and is lifeguarded during the summer, making it ideal for families. Porthtowan is part of the St Agnes designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are some wonderful walks to be found, offering vivid scenery along the South West Coast Path, whether you choose to head east to St Agnes or west to Portreath. The towns of St Ives and Penzance, with their art galleries, restaurants and quaint harbours, are half an hour’s drive away, whilst Flambards Theme Park, The Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, and the Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station are just a few of the other diverse attractions scattered around this picturesque region.

Reviews

Just returned from week in Ocean Blue. As title suggests perfect for beach (3 minute walk). Apartment has been refurbished to high standard wanting for nothing. Booking with Neil and Sarah was excellent so no hassle to get into property. Plenty to do in Porthtowan from Blue Bar at beach, surf school for those young or young at heart and introduction of new Unicorn Hotel across from appartment means you never need to eat in. Best sunset (see sunset photo) Highly recommended give it a go you won't be disappointed

We have just arrived home from spending a week in this wonderful beach retreat. Everything you need in a perfect location. Sand , sea, sun and a pint of cloudy apple over at the unicorn. We have had a fantastic time.. we didn’t want to leave.
