A little history
Porthleven is a former pilchard fishing village with one of the most beautiful natural harbours in Cornwall. The village has developed an extraordinary restaurant scene — several chefs have established significant reputations here. The harbour wall during Atlantic storms provides some of Cornwall's most spectacular natural drama.
Storm watching from the harbour wall is genuinely exhilarating — one of Cornwall's great free spectacles (check safety). The restaurant scene is outstanding for such a small village. The coastal walk south to Gunwalloe.
