Location
Porthpean is one of South Cornwall’s best-kept secrets, with a sheltered, south-facing beach nestled between St Austell and Charlestown. The timeless location for Richard Curtis’ film About Time the location is backed by wooded valleys and rolling countryside incorporating Porthpean Golf Course. The sheltered beach is ideal for swimming, paddleboarding and relaxed days by the water, while Porthpean Sailing Club adds a lively waterside community. The South West Coast Path runs along the clifftops above the beach, offering beautiful walks and far-reaching sea views towards Duporth and Charlestown. Just a short distance from St Austell, Porthpean is also well placed for exploring the wider Cornish coast, with Charlestown, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project all situated within easy reach of the property.
