Porthtowan has a very special place in our hearts and we feel very fortunate to become the owners of a home in the village. We love the location because of its proximity to the beach making it easy to take kayaks, surf boards and body boards to the sea. It is easy to watch the kids playing in the dunes or the park from the home so they can be independent but as parents we know they are safe because we can see them easily. Porthtowan is a small village so the ice cream parlour, shop and restaurants are all close without being intrusive. We describe it as the perfect triangle, home, sea, pub!
