The meaning of this name is obvious: harbour where there are boats! Four hundred years ago, there were apparently 18 pilchard boats fishing out of this little harbour because it is sheltered from south-westerly winds. Situated on the Roseland peninsula, it is worth a visit.

There are still a few boats there now but only one or two of them are fishing boats. Nowadays the local business is tourism. That is not much of a surprise, though, as there is a wonderful view across Gerrans Bay to Nare Head.

Portscatho is on an easy section of the South-West Coast Path too. You can walk west to Towan Beach, where you can sometimes see seals, or east to Porthcurnick Beach to have lunch in the open air at the Hidden Hut.

Portscatho is a very small place but there are three art galleries, a big pub, a number of cafés – and also a well-known shanty group, Du hag Owr (Black and Gold), who sang at the G7 gathering in 2021.
