PORTHTOWAN CORNWALL | Your next Cornwall holiday destination?
PORTHTOWAN CORNWALL is a seaside holiday destination between St Ives and Perranporth, and close to Truro with a beautiful beach popular with surfers, day trips, and people enjoying a peaceful Cornwall holiday. Porthtowan, a charming village nestled on Cornwall's north coast, offers a captivating combination of golden sands, dramatic cliffs, and a rich history. Here's why you should consider Porthtowan for your next trip:
Porthtowan Beach is a haven for surfers, boasting consistent Atlantic swells and sandy shores. Renowned surf schools offer lessons for beginners and experienced surfers alike.

I had a thought that would be good for your overseas viewers, and would be at the beginning to show a map of Cornwall, with the area marked where you are visiting, just a suggestion if possible, i wish i had taken the time now while visiting Devon to include Cornwall, love dogs but someone please give that dog a bone, thanks again for the video.
