The picturesque coastal village of Port Gaverne lies along one of the most unspoilt stretches of North Cornwall coastline that lies between the Camel Estuary at Rock right the way up to Trebarwith Strand. The village itself consists of a small collection of cottages, converted fish cellars and cliff top houses dotted around the idyllic cove. The Port Gaverne Hotel & Inn and Pilchards Café are both well regarded eateries. Perfect for swimming, paddleboarding or kayaking, Port Gaverne is also a favourite for coasteering. At low tide there is a small, sheltered, sandy beach with plenty of rock pools to explore. From the beach you can also pick up the Southwest Coast Path, offering miles of scenic walks.

A short walk-up Port Gaverne Hill, lies neighbouring Port Isaac, a thriving village, internationally renowned for its association with ‘Doc Martin’. The village offers a wide range of facilities including a primary school, doctor’s surgery, shops, pubs, B&B’s, and restaurants including two by Michelin starred Nathan Outlaw. Port Isaac boasts an historic harbour, and is home to the popular singing group, The Fisherman’s Friends.
