You can go there on a rainy day.
Porlock Bay has been a tidal marsh for over a decade, since the sea was allowed to breach the old sea defences in a classic example of ‘managed retreat’.
The harbour area is called Porlock Weir, but there isn’t a weir.
Porlock has boats. Most of the time, they don’t float as there is a 50 foot tidal range.
The hill behind Porlock Weir is Selworthy Beacon. The quiet car park on top is a great place for overnight camping and lets you wake up to a lovely view in the morning.
There is a large and unidentified structure sinking into the beach.
They don’t like smugglers in Porlock.
There is nothing to do in Porlock.
