A "stunning" UK beach has impressed visitors so much that they think people should add it to their "bucket list." The award-winning beach, nestled on the Cornish coast, is found between two popular tourist destinations - Newquay and Watergate Bay.

Porth Beach has been described as the "perfect beach for families", but it's also popular with walkers, swimmers, and paddleboarders. For locals, this will come as no surprise - but for those further away from the coast, Porth Beach could be the perfect place for a day out.

Headlands shelter the sandy beach, and north of the beach, there's a narrow footbridge across to Porth Island. TikTok user @cornwall_lover shared a clip showcasing the 'stunning' beach.

The caption said: "If you’ve not yet visited Porth beach in Newquay, get it on the bucket list. Amazing for paddleboarding at high tide, families who want to play in shallow streams and for those that love exploring, walk the coast path and step over the bridge to Porth Island, currently covered in bright sea pink flowers."

Praising the beach in the video, the blogger added: "The dreamiest beach in Cornwall with a bridge to its very own island." The post received over 12,000 likes and lots of excited comments.

Someone said: "So beautiful. I'm hoping to visit it this summer." A second comment read: "Ooh this looks delightful." A local replied: "I grew up just up the road from here. Many happy memories of this beach." Another fan wrote: "Porth Beach, my local & favourite place to be."

Porth Beach is very popular on Tripadvisor, where it's ranked as the number one thing to do in Newquay. One reviewer commented: "Beautiful, clean beach and cliffside. We had a nice walk along the cliff side and the views were beautiful.

"The locals are very friendly and we had a nice chat with some of them. There’s a holiday park in front of the beach, we didn’t stay here but seems like an ideal location if you want to be close to the beach!"

Another visitor said: "Lovely clean beach with stunning views. Depending on the tide it can be a short walk to the sea. The beach can be very busy on hot days between 10am-5pm. The water is clean and clear."

A third added: "Fantastic beach and amenities as always. We have been coming here for the last 12 years and have never been disappointed on our visit."

Visit Cornwall says: "Porth Beach is an award-winning Newquay beach, and a popular narrow stretch of golden sand and turquoise water situated between the town of Newquay and Watergate Bay. Flanked and sheltered by two vast headlands, the spectacular beach welcomes visitors, locals, and surfers year-round.

"As of 2024, Porth Beach has been awarded the Seaside Award which celebrates the commitment to environment, water quality, and safety of the beach."
