Portreath Information

Dial Code : 01209
Population : (2001 Parish)

Information


Portreath is a small village on the North coast of Cornwall, situated between the towns of Camborne and Redruth.

In the past Portreath prospered from its harbour, exporting tin ore and importing coal for the mining industry. The fishing community has also been very active and continues into the present.

The main income in the parish is the holiday trade with the beach as our jewel in the crown.

Surfing Details

The surf is a beach break (i.e land on sand, if you wipe out (fall off)) and has very good waves at every stage of the tide. The best wave peels off the harbour wall. As with most beaches in Cornwall it can get crowded during summer months.
