Porthallow Beach
Porthallow Beach is a beautiful and charming spot located on the eastern coast of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Once a thriving fishing village, today it's a peaceful destination with a few working boats that still operate from the beach here.
The beach is famous as the halfway point on the South West Coast Path. This path is a 630 mile long trail that winds along the rugged coastline of the South West of England. The halfway point is marked by a granite sculpture on the beach. Engraved on this sculpture is a poem called 'Fading Voices'.
The beach is home to a diverse array of marine life, including starfish, crabs and sea anemones.
