Portholland Beach, Sandy beach in Veryan, Cornwall.
The beach consists of two distinct coves with grey stones and rocky outcrops that merge into a single sandy shoreline during low tide.
The granite sea wall behind the beach has protected the hamlets of East and West Portholland and their forty residents for generations.
The beach sits within Cornwall's Roseland Peninsula, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, reflecting the region's environmental preservation efforts.
Visitors can access facilities including public toilets, a cafe for refreshments, and parking spaces at both East and West Portholland sections.
The beach features natural rock pools that emerge during low tide, creating opportunities for marine life observation between the two coves.
