Location

Porthleven is a charming harbour town nestled on the south coast of Cornwall, located between the Lizard Peninsula and Mounts Bay. Surrounded by breath taking coastline and countryside, it lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty along the South West Coast Path. Just outside the harbour’s mouth, the Porthleven surf reef break is renowned for being one of the best in the UK and Europe, attracting surfers when the right swell hits.

This vibrant town has preserved much of its historical character, offering a mix of quaint cafes, top-tier restaurants, welcoming pubs, and unique shops and galleries. Residents and visitors can also enjoy a local supermarket, post office, doctor’s surgery, primary school, fishmongers, and delicatessen, making it a convenient and well-equipped community.

Every year, Porthleven hosts the highly acclaimed, three-day Food and Music Festival, drawing people from far and wide to enjoy live music, celebrity chefs, and a variety of street food. The town has a thriving community spirit, with active local groups like the wild swimming group, The Salty Sisters, and a prize-winning brass band that often plays around the harbour on summer evenings.

Just a short distance away, the market town of Helston offers an even wider range of amenities, including primary and secondary schools, banking, sporting facilities, and three national supermarkets.

Porthleven’s coastline is dotted with some of Cornwall’s most stunning beaches, such as Prussia Cove and Loe Bar. Nearby fishing villages like Mousehole and Newlyn, along with the historic town of Penzance, are all within easy reach. Penzance is home to excellent restaurants, the newly refurbished Jubilee Pool, and a direct railway connection to London Paddington. Mounts Bay is also a popular spot for kite surfers.

The north coast of Cornwall is easily accessible too, with St Ives offering beautiful beaches, a vibrant arts scene, and top-notch restaurants. Highlights include the Tate St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Museum, and the Bernard Leach Pottery, making the area a cultural hub.
