- What a find! If you're tired of the crowds while you're staying in St Ives, and fancy a little spot of remote and quiet stunning beauty, I think I have found the place. Portheras Cove stunning views on the hike down and the beach is one of Cornwall's best, similar to Porthcurno in my opinion, if not better.

I want to move to Cornwall in about 4 years time, I’m saving so hard in order to buy a place with a smaller mortgage so o can just get a job working in a shop or something rather than being in corporate . I want my kids to have a nice life and I can’t think of anything better than leaving London for Cornwall - hope my dream comes true 🙏🏻
Good luck 🤞 my wife and I hope to semi retire in next 12 months 🙏 work as private tutors so hope to work on line or face to face
Good fortune with your move
@@guitarlover302 thank you , I’m a long way off moving yet (approx 4-5 yes away) I hope sooner . We won’t be retiring for a long while but hopefully we can find something to do there or work offline
I hope you dream comes true and you can give your kids that I want to move there to from Manchester I'm 35 now and been going to Cornwall since I was 2 I love the place no place in the world beats it ❤️
Good luck! My son and his partner have just moved into a new build, they are going up everywhere, it was their only chance to get out of renting, it used to be farmland but so many people are moving in from all over and small towns and villages are being changed beyond recognition. Drs surgeries are turning down new patients and schools aren’t now big enough. Homes are needed here because so many original and older places are used as holiday homes. Where I have lived almost all of my life, it is now closed during the winter, locals have gone up country to find work and can’t afford to come back.
It’s a lovely place to live, but summer is so busy, I sometimes understand how some of the smaller places in the world rely on tourism, but unfortunately the tourist don’t appreciate that people actually do live here all year round, when you hear the “West Country” accent being used and when you see the rubbish left (not all left by tourists)
The traffic can be awful too, so many bigger cars these days and they drive like they do at home, where they are from.
I don’t want to have a go at tourists or those that want to move here, but if you want to live here because of the way of life, the scenery, don’t come in and rebuild, you are then changing the place to suit you. So many places are bought, house on site knocked down, then a huge ugly building built over what was a pretty garden.
Live here by all means, we aren’t unfriendly, but we would just prefer it if incomers realised it is not a good idea to rebuild and make everything look modern.
Love the Duchy by all means, but please love what it is, not what you can make it.
I apologise if I sound unfriendly, I’m far from it, but the Cornwall of my grandparents and my parents time, of my childhood is disappearing too fast. Love it, but stop changing it.
@@evie.3625 I agree with what you are saying there iv been going to Cornwall for 30 plus year I come back from there a week ago an it has changed far to much over the years I love the old Cornwall the unchanged paradise ❤️
I am Cornish born and bred and in my opinion the best time to see the real Cornwall is in the winter. Most tourists have gone home ( no disrespect to tourists- we need them) and cornwall reverts to its natural self in all its glory.
Not wrong there Susanne
Beautiful place discovered
This cove 45 years ago
Just walking the coast path when I was 17 years old it's the best beach in Cornwall for me natural rugged stunning and always spotless
It's looked after by the
Volunteers of pendeen
Locals fantastic place
I visit twice a year
May and September
Glad you love it weddell
Great spot very tranquil
Absolutely stunning Wendell, I so look forward to your videos , I adore Cornwall but cant walk as much as I would like these days , so it gives me great pleasure walking with you .. thank you so much 🚶♀️🚶♀️☺
Thanks you so much for the kind words Myra! Your welcome along for the walk every time 🙂
Spectacular? You ever been abroad ? 1 thing it's loving your country , other thing its over react rating it , its a ok view but Spectacular? Its not Philippines mate 😂😂😂 or bali or Thailand , that's Spectacular get it right
It's a really beautiful place! Amazing beach, so nice to be there and relax watching the waves! 😍❤️🌊💕
I was born and still live in Kernow and I've never been to Portheras beach either. Can't wait to see it for myself. Your channel is a gem. Thank you!
Great to hear someone who is born and bred in Kernow likes my channel 🙏
Great little hidden Cove, well found. Cheers
Im going in March, thanks for this gem.
Will my fellow Herberts always ensure to take a rubbish bag, never leave anything and take away any other rubbish you do find. Thank you
It is not hidden. And people making videos is hardly going to keep it hidden
Thank you!! Im coming down on June 14th. I'm an explorer and love coves like this. Look forward to finding it ❤
Highly recommend it, wonderful spot
Wow, what a beautiful place! On my list of places to visit.
I'm not so sure that this spot is much of a local secret anymore, I usually enjoy the mostly empty portheras cove in summer, but this year it looked more like the beaches of st ives each time I went!
will be much more by now lol
Go round the corner to the left. Steps down by lighthouse wall, to stairs. Straight down and to the right. When the tide's out, big enough for 10 people. But most have no idea it's there
@@markhyde1970not until you left your comment, I’m going there next week
Thanks to the jnternet and hashtags
Portheas I discovered 48 years ago just walking the cliff path I go twice a year May and September love pendeen and all that area
I've just discovered your
You tube walks with your dogs it's great I will be watching your wanderings
From now on and your information is very good
You precent very well,
A honest opinion I've been
Coming to Cornwall 48 years there is nowhere
I haven't been I think .
West Cornwall penwith

Area in the county
Keep walking I look forward to watching more
Teresa jones
Thanks Teresa! I’m sure you could give me a few tips on places to explore!
Great video Wendall, it's been one of my favourite beaches since I discovered it many years ago- I remember the warning signs about the sharp metal hazards. Many thanks.
Great motive Spot on, will visit 👍
Lovely video, loved Cornwall since I was a kid visiting. Now I've lived here almost 4years and still need to explore. This spot has to be done!! Beauty 👌🏼thankyou for uploading, very helpful mate.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you! We found this today and it was amazing 😊
Glad you enjoyed!
First went there circa 1970, we had a rental just off the harbour which due to the Rock formation effectively had its own little beach, we were unable to extend the stay it was in such demand 😀 happy days St Ives. So much better than London
THANK YOU MY MAN! REALLY COOL ATTITUDE. SHARE & SHARE A LIKE. GREAT VLOG !!! ❤
Beautiful spot!!
Great video, thank you! Peggy and Spud are tremendous, lovely friends. Thank you again for your excellent videos. I would love to visit Cornwall one day. Once Covid is in the rear view mirror, I will come over to the UK, visit family and make a trip down to Cornwall.
Thank you Nick, Peggy and Spud are the best ❤️
I would prefer that beach than the touristy areas of Cornwall . If I visit England I would visit this beach . I live in Australia and we have very scenic beaches and I always visit those ones rather than say Bondi beach . Thank you for this hidden gem !
Bondi worst beach in Australia, St Kilda was pretty naff too. Best beaches I visited were near Esperance, Albany WA.. cheers
@@WendallExploresPlease do some videos of hidden gems in England ? I want to visit with in 2 years . I was born in England and grew up in Australia and haven’t been back to the UK for years . I am looking forward to watching more of your content .
@@louisaklimentos7583 plenty lesser known location videos on the channel, mostly from Cornwall, enjoy 🙏

Wow that's beautiful 😍 I want to visit so much
Great advice on the seals homey
Beautiful cove.
Lovely!
Julia Bradbury every time ! :) Yes Pendeen beach is a very beautiful and remote place - thanks for your vid :)
Thank you for watching
Why don't you tell the whole world then it can be as spoilt and overcrowded as everywhere else
Nice one mate. Great channel. Well done, most informative stuff too 🌞
Thank you for watching!
@@WendallExplores yeh only just had your channel flag up... I think you're doing an excellent job, and your take on things and angle and kinda fresh eyes on a place and natural, honest reaction is good, helpful and good humoured, well done 🌞
Never knew about this one! We have a week off soon shalll be visiting this one for sure. Great video as usual and yes you could give Julia Bradbury a run for her money as presenter!!!
Thanks Liz! The first view really takes your breath away when you first see it from the track. Enjoy!
I'm not sure about more pleasing on the eye😆 but definitely prefer these video's to the TV show as they are more interesting and useful. The presenting style is excellent 💙✌
Been watching from Oz
The videos are good. Love Cornwall keep them coming Wendall
Used to go to Perranporth for holidays when we lived in Nottingham
I visit Perth a lot, a have a good mate that way
Well now it's not secret
Thank you for showing those of us with mobility problems, where we cant dare to reach 👍.
Your very welcome. I’m glad I can share these places with people who, for various reasons, cannot be there themselves.
@@WendallExplores you do so in a very enjoyable way. Thank you, because, id love to still do those walks in my favourite place , I cant due to balance problems, but watching your videos sort of means I still can. So grateful tbh.
@@straighttalkinggirl7622 that means the world to me, I’m only just getting started so much more to come!
Lol lived here 11 years not found this one😁🙌💗🍻
A very beautiful beach! I walked past it in 2019, but we were unfortunately pretty stressed after a rather unpleasant bovine encounter from the top of the path and downwards. So we just walked on. And therefore it is really nice to get a good look at it now :) Thank you! :-)
I have some facts too: Did you know that the fields in the hillside above the beach are the oldest cultivated fields in the UK, and still in use today? From 5000 years back. And because of your great sense of humour, I prefer you to Julia Bradbury :-)
Those facts are very useful, and I would have very much liked to have used them in the video! 🤣 Many thanks on the Julia Bradbury debate, she may win on looks but I think I could take her on wit! Dare I ask about the unpleasant bovine encounter?
@@WendallExplores We were walking here: goo.gl/maps/w4Pph1eHkkJuhjbf6 And there were many cows and a longhorn bull grazing peacefully without any fence towards the path. But suddenly one cow started to moo and went quite fast towards us. We barely managed to get through the gate and close it. We were feeling safe, but suddenly the cow had found a hole in the stone wall and there she came quite rapidly down the path, and stopped just beside us. OK enough, but the path is narrow and there is only schrubbery beside it and these animals are big. And then the other cows decided to come too. Those also passed us quite fast. We managed to step (only) half a metre outside the path, to try to avoid being pushed over, and then the bull came, and stood right beside us with the long horns and looked at us for quite a while. I must say I was pretty scared, standing still as stone statues. At last they found their way further down in the fields, and we dared to walk the path and through a kissing gate. Puh! And then we went down towards the cove. There we met a couple who said that the farmer had been a bit curious about how the cows would behave. We were not injured, but could very well have been pushed over and into the sharp bushes. And he should mend that opening in the stone wall I think :) They were mooing a lot for a long time after.
@Torunn Bjøreid the mistake you may have made was to not stand your ground, be very big and loud at the first cow. They are daft things and always back down. The bull would be a different story. Glad you survived to tell the tale!
@@WendallExplores I see what you mean, and I would probably have tried that if it was on a field. But we had managed to get through the gate, and felt safe. And after the gate the path went downhill and the first cow came very fast. It actually stopped, and I talked calmly to it and I thought it would be OK, and it walked further down. But then all the other cows suddenly came running down after each other from the hole in the stone wall. There were some tons of mooing animals hurrying in my direction. And there was no way I would have stood in their way trying to look big and loud :-) And the bull was less than a metre away from us with the pointy horns. Happy to be a surviver ;-) And with no scars from the schrubbery :)
i've lived in cornwall my whole life, mullion on the lizard.. i've never heard of this place, so thank you :) have you visited mullion and the cove? it's beautiful here.. we have pollurian to the left and poldhu to the right and mullion cove in the middle.
I have been to mullion once but not for the channel, maybe I will one day Simon, you could be my local guide 😀

It's never been a secret, folk have had Google Maps for beards and have found everything there is.You do right in showing it to the Americans. 😄😎🙋
Great beach but it is no secret if you are walking the coastal path would be rather difficult not come across it. But hey well done for "discovering" a beach that has been there even longer than TH-cam!!
I grew up in pendeen spent so many summers here
Shhhh! They once said Kynance was too far for the masses....until National Trust put in a turnstile 😑
Absolutely stunning my friend 😍👍🏻
It is a beautiful spot
@@WendallExplores end of July will be coming down. If u wouldn't mind we'd like to pop in ya pub and have a pint. 🍻

I’ll stay on TH-cam, I like being my own boss 🤣
Best way mate 👍
good job you didnt go there pre 2004. there was an old wreck there and parts f the cove were unsafe because of it
I know about this place. I visited here over 20 years ago on a day out from Exeter. Went to Land's End, St Ives and Truro that day.
Hi mate finding your videos really interesting keep going
Thanks Wayne please subscribe not to miss new uploads 🙏

Thankyou
@@wayneharper9127 wonderful, glad you enjoy the banter and I can be of assistance!
We live in Hayle and I've never heard of this cove, will have to give it a go next sunny day. Is the beach still there at high tide or just a low tide one? :D
It is without doubt one of the most stunning beaches I’ve visited in the area, and I’ve visited most! There is less of a beach, but still some beach at high tide.
Coming back to the old classics these are like the opposite locations of where you film nowadays lol
Before I had the guts to approach people with a camera 🤣
Great video, thanks 👍🦊
Thanks for watching Jon
@@WendallExplores moving from Leicester hopefully soon, when I’m down there I love finding hidden gems.👍🦊
There are so many, it can be a life’s hobby finding them all
@@WendallExplores great job tho 👍🦊
Found a nice one recently, lantic bay near fowey, there’s a car park there too. 👍🦊
Been waiting for this wendell
Happy to oblige, enjoy!
We're coming down next weekend we will pop in for a pint
Check out Porthbeer cove in coverack if you really want a stunning hidden cove that no one’s posted yet!
Don’t send me to another hidden cove the locals will lynch me 🫣
@@WendallExplores haha it’s worth the look though and not many locals would care much tbh
@@musiclive3635 oh they will care when I go there 🤣 Thanks for the heads up 👍
Thanks for this mate, beautiful cove I will definitely visit when I come to Cornwall next time!
Definitely worth the visit
Great video. Does the cove get cut off at high tide?
I don’t think it gets cut off, just much smaller beach. Thanks for watching!
What would be the best time to go there regarding tides etc
I’ve been driving all over Huntingdon but the sea is nowhere to be found 😢
Wonderful as ever ! watching these between tutoring sessions ! Excuse the pun but saves us all the leg work
when we move down 🙏🙏
Have subscribed so hope helps with funding these brilliant videos 👌 Coming different times of the year to prepare for move and check areas we would like to settle! Thought I knew most of Cornwall but didn’t know about this place - looks fabulous 😍
Thank you so much for subscribing and viewing the videos ❤️
@@WendallExplores Thank you for your work !
Hello mate, do you mind sharing this on our Facebook page. (Cornish locals) ?
All videos free to share mate, go ahead
I dont know if I should reveal this but there is a spot that is just as beautiful and more remote and free from people than Portheras just south of Zennor Head called Veor Cove. It is not an obvious path down to it but once you find the path and the cove you can have the whole beach to yourself even in the Summer. But forget I said all that.
Forgotten 🤣 Thanks for that, I’ll check it out
There goes the secret then
Not anymore 🙄 doh! 🤣🤣🤣
Look a a lovely little secretive cove and the sea is very clear. I much prefer you as a presenter I can’t stand Julia Bradbury...I wanted to say I love your sweatshirt is the brand “sessions” ? Keep up the great work I look forward to your videos. When you can, a suggestion, perhaps do a tour of port Isaac I’ve never been but looks lovely on the fisherman’s friends film and Doc Martin. Thank you 😎
Thank you for watching. Yes I think it’s a sessions top, they have a shop in Penzance. I do plan to go further towards the Tamar to do some filming very soon, naturally I am slowly exhausting the locations near to me, mostly because until recently lockdown travel limits forced my hand.
@@WendallExplores thank you for the reply. Will look into the sweatshirt thanks for the tip. Just another idea for exploring my partners family (ancestors) were from a little village called Zennor which is near St Ives. It’s an idea to take a look. Some of his ancestors are buried in the church yard “Christopher’s” and the family owned a house up until 2012, they were Tin miners and then moved to Durham to become coal miners when the mining industry dries up. The church there holds a mermaids chair and apparently the cove about a mile away from the village supposedly has a myth story of seeing Mermaids 🧜♀️ at PorthZennor cove. I haven’t seen all round the village but is a lovely historical interesting place that maybe an idea for you to a visit and not far from St Ives where you have been travelling around.
I did some filming in Zennor today, it’s quite local to me, so I know a bit about the Mermaid myth etc. I went into the church and talked about the 600 year old mermaid carving and then took a look around the graveyard but couldn’t find any graves with ‘Christopher’ as the name. I’m not sure if the footage will make it into a video (I wasn’t really ‘on form’!), I’ll see how it comes up when I try to edit it. If I upload a video of it I’ll be sure to let you know here. I just wanted to give you an update on this! 😉
Do you wonna swop to mine to North Wales 🏴
Not a secret now.
Beautiful cove n yeah julia is a bit prettier lol great video
I can’t believe you could say such a thing Eddie! 🤣
@@WendallExplores your funnier than julia tho ,haha ignore the haters who say you should not film these locations,i lived in cornwall n explored lots of it ,now because of covid im unable to continue exploring it,so its great people like yourself are able to keep us intouch and show these beautiful places,and more importantly you tubers can reach an audience to make sure developers dont ruin the beauty of these places we adore 😉

Maybe 15 mins?
@@WendallExplores Thanks
So funny he said his channel was so small 15k views later 💀
Nice video will subscribe but julia Bradbury is a bit more pleasing to the eye.
I’m heartbroken 🤣
Is this some hidden meaning of the word 'secret' that I've missed?
Yes it’s a cryptic video, if you rewatch it 1000 times you may unlock the hidden meaning
Hardly secret
🤫
I’m afraid that I do believe that TH-cam is slowly ruining all those hidden gems. Why not just enjoy it and leave the camera at home. I am a photographer and it’s my business to record beautiful locations but I just don’t always publish the location . I hate localism but content like this just makes it worse. Sorry but its the honest truth
I get this type of comment from time to time. You are welcome to your opinion, and I understand and respect it. Here is mine. Did you watch the video? As I said, I have about 500 subscribers, I’m not the BBC. I hugely doubt my video will attract thousands of people to Portheras Cove. If I had hundreds of thousands of subs I may change my philosophy slightly, as I would be conscious of the large online footprint. I would be sympathetic to the fragile local social ecosystem that the huge foot flow would obviously effect. I am unsettled by people telling me what I can and can’t make a video of. I can’t accept how you can say you ‘hate localism’ on one hand but then in a free society tell someone to ‘leave the camera at home’ with the other.
I believe strongly in what I also said in the video. I make videos for ALL PEOPLE. The world can only be a better place if people get outside more and experience and interact with natural beauty. At this time more than ever, after the last 12+ months of lockdowns and constriction of freedoms, is it not fair to say that all people deserve their own visit to more remote corners of the Cornish paradise?
Maybe it is. But I'm sure there's much bigger culprits that are "ruining these hidden gems". There's a new TV show on each week it seems that features Cornwall. Heck, they're filming the new GoT here right now. Perhaps the most popular TV series in modern times. Wendall leaving his camera at home and not doing what he wants to enjoy his day is hardly going to make a dent in the "problem". People are coming and you can download and follow a highly detailed map with relative ease these days that anybody who wants to walk to a secluded spot doesn't exactly have to be the next Shackleton. It depends on perspective I guess. Like Wendall said, he lives here and I'm sure there's a lot of other folks who live in Cornwall who have just found a new place to cherish because of Wendall. Maybe that means there's more of us to keep an eye on it now so it doesn't get lost to developers or something else?
@@WendallExplores I respect your right to do what you want and wasn't for a minute trying to tell you what to do. I do however think its a shame that people cannot just enjoy a fragile/beautiful environment without feeling the need to be constantly filming and publicising that location. I do hate localism of any form and know for a fact that revealing hidden gems on TH-cam eggs these people on. That unfortunately makes these type of vids part of the problem. Last summer there was a massive problem with mass tourism destroying beauty spots. I just don't think its very sensitive to be producing this type of content with another chaotic summer on the cards for the West Country. There are lots of things that you can do on you tube with the fantastic footage that you create its just a shame it has to be in this format. Sorry just my opinion.
@@planetjoe I completely agree that there are much bigger culprits. They do however mainly stick to the beaten track. As for GOT. Thats fantasy and certainly not revealing hidden gems. I guess it would be nice to have more people protecting these spots, unfortunately that is rarely how it turns out. An interesting debate that will no doubt continue to rage.
Hmmm I wonder if the selfish gentleman has ever been abroad to other people's country 🤔 sounds really selfish thanks man for filming this beautiful country been going Cornwall devon since I was 6 always looking for hidden gems
BEWARE RUSTING SHARP METAL!
Absolute caution when walking around on the beach, paddling and swimming on this beach! Shipwreck sharp rusting pieces liter this beach and cove!
I’ve been to this beach a few times, and have never come across any rusting sharp metal. I’ve heard this was a problem years ago, but in my experience I haven’t had a problem.
People that just stay in St Ives and don't leave are just brain dead
If there are seals about, why aren't your dogs on leads? I don't care how obedient you believe them to be. I'm a dog-lover, but see what family pets do to livestock when off on their own.
its not a secret im afraid
Bro, why can't you leave us Cornish residents some personal space. We do not need people like you broadcasting these locations when they are the only very few places we can enjoy where we live where tourists have not invaded.
The problem is that you do not think.
This is terrible.
