Portscatho
Image by Adam Gibbard - supplied by Visit Cornwall
Nestled on the Roseland Penninsular is this fine village. The sloping hill down to the waters edge gives nearly all of Portscatho un-interrupted wonderful breathtaking views of the Cornish coast. Benefiting of this high vantage point you can see for miles upon miles the ragged and stunning coastline.
Not up for a walk and fancy a quiet time away from home, this is the place to be, enjoy a Cornish pint of ale in The Plume of Feathers, a hot chocolate and slice of cake in the Boathouse or how about a gin and tonic and some freshly caught Cornish fish for supper in the Royal Standard!

Portsctho Regatta 2024
Portscatho Regatta is a self-financing community event organised by the villagers of Portscatho and held annually since 1874. The event is free and all are welcome. As well as the sailing there is live music, children’s entertainment and sports on the beach, a sandcastle competition, kayak and swimming races, BBQ, refreshments, stalls and games.
In the era of social media, it may be easier to keep up with Portscatho Regatta through Facebook.
Portscatho Regatta sports a superb collection of regatta logos. Unlike most of the village regattas, who may have one logo which is used each year, Portscatho has, since 1998, produced a new logo almost every year. The annual logos are embroidered onto polo shirts and t-shirts which are sold to help cover the costs of running the regatta and also used to publicise the event. The 2020 logo is particularly witty, the 2014 logo commemorates the Falmouth to Greenwich Tall Ships regatta of that year while others represent a wide variety of the local classes of dinghies, windsurfers, yachts and working boats.
