More about this scene
This archetypal fishing village was once entirely dependent on the mackerel shoals for its precarious economy. In the late Victorian era it became increasingly popular with visitors, and a row of boarding houses was flung up along its sea front. It offers fine sea views round Gerrans Bay to Nare Head.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I was in Portscatho with my mother on 15th August 1945 (V-J Day). I can remember the singing and dancing by the harbour wall. We were staying with frieds whom I have lost contact with.
