Portmellon
Portmellon is a small sandy cove located at the northern extent of the Roseland Peninsula, just South of Mevagissey. The easterly facing beach is usually sheltered from the prevailing wind and provides a good launch spot but parking at Porthmellon is extremely limited. Launching gives good access to Mevagissey Bay and the surrounding coastline. Clean ground predominates but some broken and rough ground can be found off Chapel Point to the South East of Portmellon.
Parking: Extremely limited roadside parking. Parking restrictions apply during the spring and summer so its advisable to go and check it out one day before planning a launch.
Species: Plaice, Gurnards and Whiting may show to drift fished baits over the clean ground. Pollack, Wrasse, Codling, Pouting and Bass are possible over the rough ground and reefs towards and around Chapel Point. Bull Huss and Conger are possible if fishing at anchor over the rough ground.
Nearest Tackle Shops: City Angler at Truro, Mevagissey Shark Angling Centre at Mevagissey, Lowen-Chy Art and Angling at St Austell and Monster Tackle at St Austell
