    “Been coming to Porthtowan for years and this is one of the best properties we have stayed in.”

    We will be recommending to our family and friends very clean and well equipped and well positioned. Had one minor query whilst at the property which was sorted immediately with no problem whatsoever by the owner. Had a wonderful stay.

    Thanks for a great review and so happy you enjoyed your stay at our property. It was no problem to change the hot water timings via the app on my phone and glad you texted me to request it. Will be very happy to welcome you and your friends and family back to Ocean Blue any time. Property Owner

Buckets and spades at the ready!

With a sandy beach within paces and gorgeous sea views from the living room and balcony, Ocean Blue in Porthtowan is perfect for families and couples seeking a beachside retreat.

Set amidst this coastal hot-spot in a vibrant village community, there are foodie pubs, a delicious deli cafe, the famed Blue Bar cafe/restaurant and a little supermarket all within a few minutes walk.

Porthtowan Beach is ideal for play, picnics and swimming, with surf school, boards and wetsuits for hire and seasonal lifeguard patrol.

Ramblers will enjoy the scenic delights along the coastal footpath.

There are so many beautiful beaches to discover along the north Atlantic coast.

Trevaunance Cove at St Agnes is a worthy walk; reward yourself with a real ale and hearty grub from the famed Driftwood Spars inn.

Maritime favourite Falmouth on the south coast is reached within a half hour drive.

Peruse the harbour, choice of beaches, museum, eateries for all appetites and galleries lining the charismatic lanes.

Ocean Blue offers welcoming, comfy and contemporary-styled accommodation, nestled within a small development of apartments almost on the beach.

Taking advantage of its first floor position, there are glorious elevated views towards the ocean and lush countryside.

The interior is fresh and homely with an open-plan living room with dining area and kitchen, with patio doors to the sunny balcony.

Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at the bijou table and bench in the Cornish air.

There are two serene bedrooms, one with double bed and the other with two single beds.

Restful sleep is a given after a soak in the bathroom with TV.

What more do you need from a beside-the-sea bolthole?

About the location

PORTHTOWAN

St Agnes 4 miles; Portreath 4 miles; Truro 9 miles.

Porthtowan is a small village resting on west Cornwall’s beautiful coastline, renowned for its Blue Flag beach, which at low tide exposes almost a mile and a half of fine, golden sands. Fringed by impressive granite cliffs, the beach is a popular surfing venue and is lifeguarded during the summer, making it ideal for families. Porthtowan is part of the St Agnes designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are some wonderful walks to be found, offering vivid scenery along the South West Coast Path, whether you choose to head east to St Agnes or west to Portreath. The towns of St Ives and Penzance, with their art galleries, restaurants and quaint harbours, are half an hour’s drive away, whilst Flambards Theme Park, The Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, and the Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station are just a few of the other diverse attractions scattered around this picturesque region. A great base for a varied family break.
