Porthgwarra

Porthgwarra is a small coastal village in the civil parish of St Levan, Cornwall, set between Land’s End and Porthcurno. A minor road off the B3283 at Polgigga guides you down to the car park and the little cove that anchors the village. Practical comforts await: a pay telephone, a small shop and a café offer friendly stops after a stretch on the coast. The South West Coast Path passes through Porthgwarra, placing it roughly 90 minutes’ walk from Land’s End and about 45 minutes from Porthcurno, making it a convenient and memorable pause for walkers exploring this dramatic corner of Cornwall. Whether you arrive by road or on foot, Porthgwarra’s compact facilities and coastal setting make it an inviting stop on any coastal itinerary.
