The shore at Port Quinn, Cornwall with children "rock-pooling"
Port Quinn (Cornish: Porth Gwynn, meaning white cove) is a small cove and hamlet between Port Isaac and Polzeath in north Cornwall. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, the narrow rocky inlet of Port Quin provides a naturally sheltered harbour for sea-going vessels. Much of Port Quin and the coastline is owned by the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty; the Trust rents out several of the stone cottages as self-catering holiday accommodation. The South West Coast Path closely follows the coastline of the inlet. Port Quin is popular with walkers and there is a small car park, which during the Summer season has a small mobile vintage Cafe, on the lane which leads from Port Quin to the village of Trelights. The area round about has been much featured in the UK TV series "Doc Martin".
