Portwrinkle holiday cottages are a great choice if you want Whitsand Bay’s three miles of sandy beaches on your doorstep. This small fishing village lies on the south Cornwall coast, a few miles west of Plymouth. Whether you want to walk the South West Coast Path, surf, swim or explore some of the region’s most enchanting harbours and coves, self-catering holidays in Portwrinkle have plenty to offer. From your holiday cottage in Portwrinkle, you can wander through the Medieval village centre while away the day on one of the pristine beaches or search for crabs in the rock pools at low tide. Look out for the remains of 17th-century pilchard cellars – or ‘pilchard palaces’ – at the harbour. One of the only businesses in the village is the Jolly Rodger Café, where tea, coffee and cakes can be enjoyed overlooking the sea. Portwrinkle and its beaches are wonderfully undeveloped and perfect for listening to the gentle crash of waves on the shore while savouring spectacular views of Whitsand Bay.
