Portscatho sits on the sheltered eastern shore of the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall, England, looking out over Gerrans Bay. It’s a compact village of granite cottages and a small working harbour, with sandy coves and clifftop routes that link into the South West Coast Path, making it popular with walkers, sailors and swimmers in season.
Traditionally a fishing and pilchard-processing community, Portscatho now blends small-scale fishing with a tourist economy of galleries, cafés and holiday accommodation; the village retains a strong local community spirit, regular regattas and an artsy vibe, all set within the scenic landscape for which Cornwall is famous.
