A real Cornish treasure, Port Isaac. Fishing villages nestled in steep valleys, the old hamlet remains untouched from its days of fishing, exporting slate, and trafficking in smuggled goods in the last century. Near the village's numerous eateries and shops, you'll find a wide variety of charming little homes and larger cliff-top retreats. There are several rock pools to explore in the sandy harbour as the tide goes out. In the heart of Cornwall, it's an ideal location for both romantic getaways and family vacations. Ample parking is available at the village's apex.
