Porthcurno Beach and bay enclosed by the Logan Rock. Here the first transatlantic telegraph cables came ashore. Cornwall, England, UK
The large beach, popular with families, has a stream that flows down one side which is great for kids to paddle in and up on the cliffs is the internationally renowned Minack Theatre, built in the 1920s by theatrical visionary Rowena Wade and her faithful gardener, which you can visit all year round. The fascinating Porthcurno Telegraph Museum, that tells the story of Cornwall’s role in the pioneering days of global communications, is located just before you get to the main car park. Cables from here were buried beneath the beach and then laid on the seabed all over the world.
