Porthcurnick beach
Porthcurnick is a flat, sandy beach with a stream in the centre and rock platforms either side with plenty of rockpools. The beach faces southeast away from the prevailing westerly winds so is often relatively sheltered. There's a beach at all states of the tide but at high tide this is a very narrow strip. At low tide the rock platform on the right extends all the way to the sandy beach at Portscatho.
