A secluded cove surrounded by towering cliffs and lush greenery, Port Gaverne Beach is a picturesque haven in Dorset, England. The beach's soft, golden sand stretches towards the calm turquoise waters, creating a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation. As the tide goes out, it reveals a vast expanse of flat sand, ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and water activities. The beach's unique shape, formed by the eroded cliffs, creates a natural amphitheater that amplifies the sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore. With its unspoiled beauty and tranquil ambiance, Port Gaverne Beach is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.
A beautiful mystical cove, not your typical sandy beach, lots of rocks and pebbles covering the sand. Heed caution when / if swimming as there are no lifeguards in proximity to this cove. It's a very hilly area. Fabulous views surrounding. Limited amount of parking in this area. Lots of potential for walking across the coastal path. No nearby shops just two restaurants have to walk 10 minutes uphill to port Isaac for shopping needs. No public toilets.
Gorgeous beach, a short walk from where we were staying in Port Isaac. We spent a few separate days on the beach swimming, relaxing and exploring the rock pools which appear at low tide.
We walked from the bottom car park in port isaac the walk is pretty steep but I managed it well and I've got knee replacements great Views we went and had a drink at the pub which is dog friendly so peaceful loved it xx
Great spot for a sheltered swim even in chillier weather. Only a couple of others about. No easy parking in bay but just park on the top of the next hill in the port Issac new road car park and it's a short 5 minute walk down.
I was staying nearby. Lovely little cove, mainly of pebbles with some rock pools. Dog friendly, all year around.... with dog mess bins available close by. The beach shelves away gently and along the sides are some steep rocky cliffs.
Little known beach to the visitors of Port Isaac, and long may it remain so Views over to Tintagel Bridge
Wheelchair-accessible car park
Good for kids
