FISHING

Porthkerris is a very well known popular area for fishing and very popular for fish! We have a large area specifically for fishing, so there is plenty of space to choose from.  Mackeral is the most common fish caught from the rocks here, especially during April/May when we get huge shoals coming in.
We must stress that here at Porthkerris we like to think that whatever you take from the sea, such as Mackeral is to be eaten or used for something – please don't kill just because you can!  And if you are one of the fishermen catching we are always grateful for a couple in the shop!
Prices for fishing are £2.00 per person fishing and £2.00 to park the car……And this lasts all day!    

KAYAKING/CANOEING

We often get quite a few kayakers come to Porthkerris to launch, we are a very sheltered bay in most winds so it makes for an easy access.  The wind to look for is East, so do give us a call to check the conditions before you come down if you see that the wind is in this direction.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The kayaking off Porthkerris is 'Stunning', not only do you have a long stretch of cornish coastline to admire, there is also a pub that you can stop off at in the next bay along!  And if you're lucky you might get a Basking Shark come alongside you!  We also have The Helford River close to us, which is fantastic for kayaking, with lots of creeks to amble around.
In the past we have also had kayaking clubs come down and camp and use the place for their 'Festivities' with races, games and general fun competitions going on.  
We do not charge people to launch their kayaks from Porthkerris, but do charge £2.00 to park the car per day.

HIKING

The coastal footpath comes right through Porthkerris so we are a great stop off point, we have a beach front camping area, toilets, showers, cafe, pub within walking distance and stunning views.  Porthkerris is situated between the bay of Porthallow and the bay of Porthoustock.  And if you fancy trying out the underwater world we could always book in a 'Try Dive' !
We welcome walkers through and often get a few stopping off during their charity marathon walk.
