Portmellon Beach
Portmellon Beach is a small, sandy beach, situated just over the hill from the thriving working harbour of Mevagissey. It retains its unspoiled charm with picturesque views of the coast. Despite being frequently overlooked by visitors, it's favoured by kayaks and stand-up paddleboard riders because of its tranquil, sheltered waters.

It's worth mentioning though that the beach becomes entirely submerged during high tide, and occasionally during spring tide the water reaches on to the road.
It's important for visitors to take note that parking is limited.
