Description
The harbour baulks doing their job, with the gaps reducing the power of the waves.
On the north coast of Cornwall is the picturesque village of Portreath.
Not the busy port it was when mining was in its heyday, it is still a magnet for surfers and photographers, especially when a storm is forecast.
The harbour at Portreath was begun in 1760 to meet the demands of the developing ore industry in the Camborne and Redruth area. In 1846 the harbour was extended with the inner basin being constructed and in the 1860s New Dock, now commonly known as the Little Beach was constructed.
