Surfing in Porthtowan gallery
Surfing in Porthtowan has long been a favourite pastime amongst locals and visitors alike. The large winter swells attract experienced surfers whilst the more gentle summer surf usually keeps sunseekers, surfers and bodyboarders happy from sunrise till sunset.
You will find two surf shops in the village. Tris Surf Shop(01209 890990) is the original and is positioned a few yards from the beach itself and will offer lessons, hire out surfboards, body boards and wetsuits as well as selling clothing, surf wax and accessories. Falmouth and Porthtowan Surf School is a mobile service and is based near the grocery shop in the village.
When you are at the beach we would encourage all beach users to follow RNLI safety precautions as the ocean can be very unpredictable.
Your lodge at Rosehill has an out door lock-up that will accommodate approx three surfboards up to 7' 4" long. Longboards can be placed under most lodges.
