Porthoustock

Porthoustock is a coastal UK dive site in Cornwall, known for its shallow rocky reef environment and straightforward access. The site is close to the village and suitable for beginners and fun, relaxed dives in calm conditions. Expect typical temperate Atlantic fauna such as wrasse, smaller shoaling fish, and common shore-dwelling species, with the sea floor often featuring boulders and rocky outcrops. Visibility can vary with conditions, and currents are usually mild. Entry is from the shore or the nearby beach, with a relaxed landscape that makes it a practical option for local training dives or a short coastal dive when weather allows.
