Whether you&#8217;re after dramatic cliffs, peaceful coves or long stretches of sand, there\u2019s a beach to match your mood.<\/p>\n<h3>Porthleven Beach<\/h3>\n<p>Backed by the town and stretching nearly three miles eastward towards Loe Bar, Porthleven Beach is popular with surfers, dog walkers, and beachcombers. It\u2019s dog-friendly all year, with only a seasonal ban from 1st July to 31st August at the town end of the beach. Be careful swimming here at low tide and when the seas are rough.<\/p>\n<h3>Nichols Cove<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a secluded spot, then Nichols Cove is the place to be. Just a short walk along the South West Coast Path from Porthleven Harbour, this small cove is ideal for swimming and snorkelling due to its clear, calm waters.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5522 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Nichols-Cove.jpg\" alt=\"Cornish cliffs, beach and blue sea in the distance, with grass and flowers in the foreground\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Nichols-Cove.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Nichols-Cove-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Dollar Cove (Gunwalloe)<\/h3>\n<p>Although a little further afield, Dollar Cove is a short 20-minute drive from Porthleven. This sandy beach is straight out of Poldark and sits next to a medieval church. Dollar Cove is ideal for families as it has safe swimming areas and plenty of space for a game of rounders or cricket.<\/p>\n<h3>Rinsey Cove (Porthcew)<\/h3>\n<p>Rinsey Cove, or Porthcew Beach, is a more remote option nestled beneath cliffs. Located just 10 minutes by car from Porthleven, it has calm waters and golden sands, making it a favourite for locals and visitors seeking tranquillity and gorgeous views.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5523 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Rinsey-Cove.jpg\" alt=\"View down over steep grassy slope, with golden beach and sea at the bottom\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Rinsey-Cove.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Rinsey-Cove-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"3\"><\/a>Try some water sports with Vertical Blue Adventures<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5520 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Paddleboarding.jpg\" alt=\"Woman paddleboarding on blue sea\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Paddleboarding.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Paddleboarding-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Heading to a seaside town in Cornwall wouldn\u2019t be complete without trying your hand at some water sports.
