Porth Joke


Known affectionately by locals as Polly Joke, this is a wonderful narrow but deep sandy cove on West Pentire. The rocky sides are not too high, and the light grey slate scalloped by the sea into lovely strange curves and swirls with a little more privacy than many other beaches, and the gently shelving sand mean lots of beach room. It is a longish walk from the nearest car park, but you are rewarded with fantastic views of the cove on your approach. Today I interrupted two rabbits and a rook having a serious discussion on the path, as well as startling ta lark from her hiding as I took a shortcut through the long grass.
