Beach description

Port Beach is located in a very deep bay. It is a long narrow area surrounded with rocky cliffs. Such location is a good protection against wind and strong waves. The beach is covered with golden sand, and shoal and small natural pools among the rocks appear during the ebb.

the beach has a cafe, a pub, and many hotels. Water closets work, a parking lot is equipped. Rescuers are on duty on the beach from middle May to late September. You can rent surf boards and kayaks on the beach.

When is it better to go

The swimming season in the UK officially begins on May 5 and ends on September 30, but it is better to travel on British beaches in late June, when the air temperature warms up to + 25 °C. The water in the Kingdom's water area is always cold for swimming – around + 17 °C, and at best it is not higher than + 22 °C in the warmest places of the Gulf Stream flowing. Even when abnormal heat comes to the country, the seas around the islands remain cold. In September, the weather may break up, despite the calendar off-peak season.
