Why Choose Portscatho for Your Holiday?
A Traditional Cornish Village
Portscatho sits on the edge of Gerrans Bay, with narrow lanes, pretty cottages and a working harbour that’s still home to local fishing boats. It’s peaceful, welcoming and beautifully unspoilt.
Coast Path and Beach Walks
From your cottage door, you can step straight onto the South West Coast Path, with spectacular walks to Porthcurnick, Towan, Carne and St Anthony Head. Whether you’re out for an hour or a full day, the views are unforgettable.
Excellent Food and Local Life
Portscatho is home to galleries, cafés, a local pub and the famous Hidden Hut, just a short stroll away at Porthcurnick Beach. It’s the kind of place where you can buy fresh crab from the harbour and walk it home for lunch.

What to Do During Your Portscatho Holiday
Visit Porthcurnick Beach
This wide sandy beach is a short walk from the village, with safe swimming, rock pools, and space for beach games or quiet lounging. The Hidden Hut is located here too – famous for its seasonal outdoor feasts.
Discover the Roseland Peninsula
Explore local villages like Gerrans, Veryan and St Just in Roseland. Take a ferry to St Mawes or walk the clifftops to see wildlife, shipwrecks and secluded bays.
Local Art and Makers
Portscatho is known for its small galleries and artisan shops, offering everything from paintings to pottery, much of it inspired by the surrounding sea and land.
Sample the Local Produce
Pick up pasties, fish, bread and Cornish cheeses from local shops, or enjoy a pint at the pub after a day on your feet.
