Carbis Bay Holidays

No Cornwall holiday is complete without a visit to Newquay the surfing capital of Cornwall, but if you are looking for a quieter spot then before reaching New Quay take the turn for Crantock, use the car park and find one of Cornwalls unspoilt beaches. Porth Joke is one of Cornwall’s many secrets and well worth a visit.

Walk - Porth Joke

Porth Joke is on the south side of the Gannel you follow the wide sandy beach at Crantock. The village is tucked away behind the sand dunes, and is worth a detour. At the far end of Crantock Beach the path climbs up to low cliffs and out onto Pentire Point West, before descending to Porth Joke, a comparatively unspoilt cove (because the car park is a mile away from the beach) owned by the National trust - don’t forget to take a picnic.
