Porthminster Hill

Cruisy little area on headland path above Porthminster Beach and railway bridge, surrounded by trees and bushes with access points to take your hot pick up out of sight of main path. Too busy during the day and best avoided, but can be fun around sunset/nightfall. As with all public places though, use your common sense and avoid bringing unwanted attention to yourself.

Best time
Just before dusk.
Crowd
Younger to middle-aged guys, locals and tourists from UK and abroad.
Watch out
Keep your eyes open for the ocasional straights.
