About this cottage rental
Portreath has a rich heritage and the narrow harbour was originally used for exporting Copper from the mines around Chacewater and importing coal from South Wales. The harbour entrance was quite hazardous and tremendous skill must have been required to navigate sailing ships into the port, some of the ships carried well over a hundred tons of ore. The pretty, sandy beach has a stream running down to the sea on the left hand side. It is a popular family beach which, like many beaches on the north Cornish coast, is popular with surfers and in particular bodyboarders who turn up in force at high tide on big swells to surf the harbour wall, or Vortex as it is known.. During the season, the beach is cleaned daily, it is patrolled by RNLI lifeguards, and dogs are not allowed on the beach in July and August between 10am and 6pm. There are several shops, and cafés in Portreath. The village has a very friendly atmosphere and caters for most needs of tourists, whilst not being over-commercialised.
