Port Quin Cove

Highlight • Beach

Port Quin is known as ‘the village that died’ after all of the men in the village drowned whilst fishing in the 19th century, forcing the women to abandon their homes. These days, Port Quin is a serene and unspoiled spot with a pleasant beach hidden in a rocky cove.

Port Quin

Highlight • Viewpoint

The name of the village is believed to come from the Cornish words "Porth" (harbour) and "gwynn" (white). Its earliest mention is when Laurence de Porquin took his name from the village in 1327.

During the medieval period, boats from Port Quin often sailed to Wales trading coal, manure, antimony, lead and building ashlar. The cove was from where granite from Lundy Island - used to build the tower of the parish church at St Endellion - was unloaded. The local economy was based primarily upon the pilchard season that operated from August to December. Fresh catches were pressed in several large sheds in the village before the separated fish oil and flesh were transported for sale. Farming and small mines were also important sources of revenue. Ots has the most amazing beach you honestly think you in the med.
