Beach

Nestled among the dunes above Green Porth, Beach is a charming granite cottage with the sand, sea and marram grass almost at the door.

At A Glance

The Cottage

This is a cottage for simple island pleasures. Wake early and wander down to the beach for a sunrise swim, return for coffee on the terrace, then let the day unfold between shoreline walks, salty dips and slow lunches nearby at The Ruin Beach Café. With Green Porth so close, the rhythm of the tide naturally becomes part of your stay.

Inside, Beach is cosy, relaxed and full of understated character. The downstairs living space offers a warm retreat after a day outside, with a woodburner for cooler evenings and all the comfort you need for easy island living. Upstairs, two peaceful bedrooms feel tucked beneath the eaves - a quiet place to fall asleep after long days in the fresh air.

The cottage sleeps four, making it a lovely choice for a couple wanting space, a small family, or friends looking for a simple beachside base. A superking master bedroom and twin second bedroom can both be arranged as superking or twin by prior request, while the bathroom and practical cottage facilities keep things easy and unfussy.

Beyond the dunes, Old Grimsby’s gentle pleasures are close at hand. The Ruin Beach Café is just minutes away, Lucy-Tania Boutique sits across the road, and the walk to Blockhouse Castle offers history, sea air and sweeping views along Tresco’s eastern shore.

Small, characterful and wonderfully placed, Beach is a cottage for those who want to feel close to the elements - dunes underfoot, the sea within earshot, and one of Tresco’s loveliest beaches just a few steps away.

The Location

Aside from the proximity to idyllic Green Porth, you’ll also want to take a walk to nearby Blockhouse Castle - soak up some of the island’s history and lose yourself in the views.

For leisurely lunches and fresh suppers, the Ruin Beach Cafe is just minutes from your door.
