Pendower Beach
Large sandy beach in Gerrans Bay near the village of Veryan. There is a slipway on the beach.
Local note
Portloe has the kind of harbour character we love: practical, weathered, and full of small details that reward a slower look.
Arrive early in peak season where possible, and leave time for parking, slopes and narrow streets.
A good family read before a visit: talk about boats, tides, old buildings and how harbour life works.
Harbours can be useful for learning about tides and shelter, but always follow local signs and safety rules.
Check tides, parking and opening times if you are visiting for food, boat trips or a family wander.
Sea Fishing in this area
The whole of this area is well known for big bass catches. Also various flat fish and dogfish are caught here.
The headlands access is difficult in places and not really for the novice fisherman. For more experienced fisherman with climbing abilities, the headlands provide good fishing.
