Portwrinkle

Portwrinkle

Portwrinkle is a small coastal village in south-east Cornwall, England, situated at the western end of Whitsand Bay. It was traditionally a fishing village and the old 17th century walls of the pilchard cellars are still standing, although they have been incorporated into housing. The village has a harbour and two beaches are accessible from it. Although the village has no shops, there is a shop in nearby village of Crafthole which is a few minutes' walk away.

The shop in Crafthole has closed, and is currently a Post Office only.
