Pentewan

Pentewan

Pentewan is a small coastal village approximately three miles south of St Austell. It is situated in the Borough of Restormel, in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

Pentewan contains the "Ship Inn" pub (owned by the St Austell Brewery), a post office, and several shops. It is also home to the large "Pentewan Sands" caravan and camping site. Pentewan formerly had a working harbour but, although the basin remains, its entrance has silted up. The harbour was linked to St Austell by the Pentewan Railway.
