Property information

Fabulous location for a Cornish beach holiday as Driftwood is within yards of the wonderful surf and golden sands of Porthtowan Beach.

Neighbourhood information

Nestled on the rugged north coast of Cornwall, Porthtowan stands as a picturesque haven, enticing travellers with its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant seaside culture. Porthtowan has become a magnet for tourists seeking a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural experiences. Its unique charm, coupled with a range of activities, makes it a compelling destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Undoubtedly one of Porthtowan's most enchanting features is its beach, a broad expanse of golden sands framed by dramatic cliffs. The waves of the Atlantic Ocean crash against the shore, creating a mesmerizing rhythm that echoes the heartbeat of this coastal paradise. Surfers and beachgoers alike are drawn to the pristine waters, seeking the perfect wave or a tranquil spot to soak up the sun. The iconic Blue Flag status of Porthtowan Beach is a testament to its cleanliness and environmental stewardship. There are a myriad of activities to suit all tastes. Surfing, being one of the most popular pursuits, attracts wave riders from novice to expert levels. The local surf schools ensure that even beginners can catch their first wave under the guidance of experienced instructors. For those seeking a different kind of thrill, the South West Coast Path provides breathtaking hiking trails with panoramic views of the rugged coastline. The nearby mineral tramways offer a glimpse into Cornwall's industrial heritage. Once used for transporting minerals from inland mines to the coast, these trails now provide excellent opportunities for walking and cycling. Exploring these routes immerses visitors in the region's history, showcasing the ingenuity of past generations and the transformation of Cornwall from an industrial powerhouse to a tranquil tourist destination. Porthtowan is not merely a tourist destination; it is a thriving community with a strong sense of identity. The locals, known for their warm hospitality, welcome visitors...
