More about this scene
Small fishing boats are drawn up on the beach, a ramp climbs past the fish cellar, and on the extreme left we can just see an arched incline to a limekiln which was in use from at least 1835. These are all reminders that the cove served an industrial function before the days of recreation. There are open fields behind Porthpean House with its well manicured lawns.
