Portloe

Portloe is a small fishing village located in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated on the Roseland Peninsula, within the civil parish of Veryan. Known for its picturesque harbor and traditional Cornish character, Portloe is a popular destination for tourists seeking a quieter, more authentic coastal experience.

The village's economy has historically been dependent on fishing, particularly crab and lobster. Tourism has become increasingly important in recent years, though Portloe has largely retained its charm and avoided over-development. Its sheltered cove provides protection from the open sea, making it a safe haven for fishing boats.

Notable features of Portloe include its tight-knit community, traditional cottages, and the absence of modern amenities like large shops. The village is known for its steep, narrow streets leading down to the harbor. It is also located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), reflecting the exceptional quality of its landscape.
