Mawgan Porth in Cornwall UK

Hidden half-way between the popular beaches of Newquay and Padstow, a quiet village blooms…
…Mawgan Porth.
Protected on both sides by towering cliffs and rocks, this secluded hamlet is blessed with a virgin beach...a beach with soft sun-bleached sand and crystal blue water...

Sunset on the beach
The raw beauty of Mawgan Porth begins with its delightfully dulcet beach. With its fine white sand, pretty pools amidst the rocks and bewitching sunsets, the beach is an idyll of peace and tranquillity.
The beach is also perfect if you want a bit of adventure. The surf here is just right for first-time surfers, and the surf-school on the beach will help you ride the glorious waves.

If you want a break from crowded beach holiday-spots, then Mawgan Porth is the retreat for you.
