Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Harbour approach, Portreath This shows how long and narrow the harbour entry is. Many of the boats entering it in the C19th would have had to have been warped up its length by either horse or manpower.

The inland end of the pier dates from the 1760s and was extended out to sea in 1824. The pier is now locked and closed off behind fences to deter swimmers jumping into the harbour which is dangerous as it is deep and has a strong surge.

The little white building is known as Deadman's Hut
