Portreath

Portreath was once a thriving port as it exported tin from the local mines. It is still a working harbour from where a few fisherman go out to sea. With a long beach, filled in the summer with visitors and locals alike, enjoying the safe bathing waters. On either side are dramatic cliffs with Gull Rock out to sea, ever watchful on this pretty resort.

Jane was born just three miles from this beautiful beach, but confesses she didn’t really appreciate its beauty when she was younger. When surrounded by so many beautiful beaches, Portreath was just the local beach. However with the maturity of years Jane can think of nothing better to do on a summer’s evening, as the sun slowly does down, than to sit on the beach and paint.
