are better-known and busier beaches in Cornwall, but few can match
the raw beauty of Mawgan Porth, on the north coast near Newquay.
Shielded on both sides by cliffs, it has acres of soft white sand,
rock pools, caves and magical sunsets. The surf is ideal for
beginners, and there is a school on the beach.

Porth in Top 20 Great British Rural Walks |
South
West Coastal Path - 6 miles, 3 hrs - Grade: Easy -Map: OS 106 FACING
the sea on the path just above the sandy bay of Mawgan Porth you can
turn right (east) and trek 11 miles or so to Padstow or right (west)
and head six miles to Newquay’s Tolcarne Beach, writes Nick
Wyke. Steep ascents are followed by steep descents. When you see the
little wooden sign for Bre-Pen farm shop, you can take a slight
diversion inland to pause for a cup of tea. Having crossed mossy
streams and walked another mile or so along the edge of farmland,
the long stretch of sand at Watergate Bay offers another pit stop –
for breakfast if you set out early and you’re there before
10.30am – or lunch at Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant.
Climb back up above the beach from the steps near the car park
entrance to Fifteen and after another hour you will be able to see
the bungalows skirting Newquay. Take your pick of beaches. The main
one is awash with surfers and Tolcarne Beach has the ultra-green
Venus café: its mission is to be the UK’s greenest beach
café and shop operator.
