Welcome to Black Rock

Black Rock is a small village located on the north coast of Cornwall, England. It is situated between the towns of Portreath and Porthtowan and is known for its stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. The village is home to a small community of residents and is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the beautiful beaches and coastal walks.

One of the main attractions in Black Rock is the beach, which is a popular spot for surfing and swimming. The beach is surrounded by rugged cliffs and is accessible via a steep path that leads down from the village. There are also several coastal walks that offer stunning views of the coastline and the surrounding countryside. The village is also home to a small harbour, which is used by local fishermen to catch a variety of fish including mackerel and crab.

Despite its small size, Black Rock has a rich history and is home to several historic landmarks. One of the most notable is the Black Rock Beacon, which was built in the 19th century to guide ships safely into the harbour. The village is also home to several old cottages and buildings that date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, Black Rock is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers visitors a glimpse into Cornwall's rich history and natural beauty.
