Porthleven is the most southerly working port in the United Kingdom and boasts a picturesque harbour, with some interesting old buildings. The harbour faces southwest into the prevailing wind and consequently, the harbour construction and sea walls are massive. During winter storms, people visit the town to watch the waves crashing over the sea defences.
