Chapel Porth Beach, Coastal beach in Cornwall, United Kingdom
Chapel Porth Beach sits between high cliffs in a narrow valley, revealing expansive golden sands that connect St Agnes Head to Porthtowan Beach at low tide.
The beach connects to industrial heritage through the presence of Wheal Coates engine house, a remnant of Cornwall's tin mining past positioned on the cliffs above.
The National Trust manages this Cornwall beach, maintaining its natural state while providing access to both local residents and visitors throughout the seasons.
RNLI lifeguards monitor the beach from May through September, with seasonal dog restrictions applying between July and August from 10 am to 6 pm.
The beach changes dramatically with tides, transforming from a stone and shingle space at high tide to an extensive sandy expanse during low tide periods.
