Beautiful little beach tucked away on the North coastline. We walked from Wheal Coates and the views were breathtaking. There is a lovely cafe where we enjoyed some lunch and their famous Hedghog Ice-cream!

Love this beach! You will need to know the low tide time, at high tide there is very little beach available. Very nice cafe in the carpark well worth a visit. Please support a couple of young people trying to make a go of it.

Chapel Porth is one of the most stunning beaches in the country — a dramatic, unspoilt cove with breathtaking scenery and fantastic surf. The walk down sets the tone perfectly, and at low tide the beach opens up beautifully. Just make sure you check the tides before you go as it transforms completely through the day, which is part of what makes it so magical. The little café at the top is brilliant. A truly special place — there's nowhere quite like it.

Chapel Porth Beach has a very steep road on the way down. It is quite narrow, too. Nice little cove. Quite rocky getting down to the beach. Plenty of walks to follow, left and right. Plenty to see along the way. When the tide is right out you can walk to other beaches and coves. There is a cafe there. Disabled parking is free if you have a blue badge. Or it is pay and display free to National Trust members.

Nice little gem of a beach. Small but nice. It's NT with limited parking so I recommend an early arrival to secure a parking spot. Cafe on site open at 10am. Seems to serve good food but lacking on decent beverages. Highly recommend a visit if you're close but unsure.
