From Your Holiday Door
From the living space, choose from 2 tempting balconies each with breathtaking sea views. Throw back the double doors from the dining area to the smaller balcony with bistro style table and chairs, the perfect place for a mornings coffee and morning paper. The larger balcony offers an all weather dining table with 6 dining chairs. From lazy breakfasts with sunrise setting to celebratory suppers al fresco as the sun sets in the bay below this really is dining in style. Leave the car behind and simply wander down the private steps and pathways to the beach below. Porthtowan is one of Cornwall's most scenic beaches with beautiful wide expanse of fine white sand and dramatic high cliffs blooming with wild gorse and sea pinks. The rolling surf makes this beach popular with local surfers, admire their performance from the comfort of the shore or embrace the elements yourself with the local surf school, a well placed outside shower is available for a post surf hose down. To the rear of the beach is the laid back beach vibe of The Blue Bar. Soak up the sunset in true Cornish style whilst you enjoy an evening drink on the terrace. Children will enjoy the local beach shop and cafe as well as the newly refurbished childrens play area. Further afield the coastal village of St Agnes offers further places to dine or head West into the cosmpolitan harbour town of St Ives. High Tide is located moments from the Cornish Coastal Path which is great for walkers with Portreath c.4miles south and Chapel Porth c. 1.5miles and St. Agnes c.4 miles to the North.

All testimonials >Fantastic Location and a lovely property. Very well equipped and the views are stunning. This was a great place to stay with many great walks from the front door and a great place to chill and unwind in the evening. I would definitely recommend this property.
We had a brilliant stay at High Tide. The views are lovely, it's so well equipped. Bars and cafes in Porthtowan are great - Blue Unicorn and The Beach Cafe. Cornish Seal Sanctuary worth a visit too.

We had a lovely week; three generation and comfortable for us all. The views are spectacular and the living space worked will for us all, including the dog. The location is wonderful and most o fun feel healthier from hillside walks and steps. It really was a home from home.

We have had the most wonderful at High Tide (our fifth time!) We were so lucky to find this fabulous apartment and have many happy memories coming here since 2018. Friends, family and our dog Ruby have loved it. Many thanks to the owners and Cornish Gems for making it so comfortable!

Our third time writing in this book, and honestly, what is there to say that hasn't already been said? High Tide and Porthtowan have become a home away from home for us. More walks along the beach and hills, more delicious ice cream and fish and chips, more memories to last a lifetime. Thank you so much once again. We hope more than ever to come back next year.

Jim Bishop
Everything had been thought of and everything was excellent.
Pam Chiddey
It met our expectations in all respects. It was brilliant to find such a high quality property with such amazing beach views that takes a dog. Our pooch settled in very quickly and was happy to sleep in her bed under the wall mounted drawer unit in the hall.
