1 September Update

Update Septembert 2020:

There are still RNLI lifeguards on the main Porthcurno beach for now, and the public toilets at the carpark are open again. Minack Theatre for non-booked in visitors still closed until further notice.

There have been serious traffic problems and blockages on road currently due to illegal parking and failure of Cornwall Council to put yellow lines in well known problem areas - see Twitter for latest info at @porthcurnotoday.

Don't miss the illustrated Lost Limericks of Cornwall here, unearthed during the lockdown at Porthcurno.
