Porthgwarra to Pordenack Point, Site of Special Scientific Interest in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The protected area extends across 158 hectares of coastal land, featuring granite cliffs, maritime heath vegetation, and diverse geological formations along the Cornish coast.
The site received its official designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1977, marking the recognition of its environmental and scientific value.
Local birdwatchers gather at multiple observation points throughout the year to document the passage of marine birds and record seasonal migration patterns.
Visitors can access the site through the South West Coast Path, with parking facilities available near Porthgwarra village and several designated viewing areas.
The area hosts the rare perennial centaury plant, rediscovered in 2010 after being unseen in Cornwall since 1962, adding to its botanical significance.
