Welcome to Porth Kea

Porth Kea is a small, picturesque cove located on the north coast of Cornwall, England. The beach is surrounded by rugged cliffs and is accessible only by foot, which adds to its secluded and peaceful atmosphere. The clear blue waters of the cove are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, and the sandy beach is ideal for sunbathing and building sandcastles.

The cove is also a popular spot for fishing, with a variety of fish species found in the waters. Visitors can also explore the nearby coastal paths, which offer stunning views of the rugged coastline and the Atlantic Ocean. The area is rich in wildlife, with seals, dolphins, and a variety of seabirds often spotted in the waters around Porth Kea.

Despite its secluded location, Porth Kea is just a short drive from the bustling town of Newquay, which offers a range of amenities including shops, restaurants, and bars. The cove is also within easy reach of other popular Cornish attractions, such as the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Overall, Porth Kea is a hidden gem of Cornwall, offering a peaceful and idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Local Dog Walks

Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
