Belle grande laybay est restée ici avec de superbes vues, le coucher du soleil et la mer Pas bon signal mais si vous vous promenez dans la laybay, vous pourriez avoir des cartes pour voir où nous allions le lendemain

Nice big laybay stayed here with great views and sun set and sea

Not good signal but if you walk around the laybay could mange to get maps up to see where we was going the next day

Schöne große Laybay blieb hier mit toller Aussicht und Sonnenuntergang und Meer Kein gutes Signal, aber wenn Sie um die Laybay herumgehen, könnten Sie es schaffen, Karten zu bekommen, um zu sehen, wohin wir am nächsten Tag wollten

    Fantastic spot to watch the sunset. Space for 4/5 campers. Second time in 4 yrs still doesn’t disappoint. If turn right and walk 100m there’s a steep path down to the beach too

    Petit lay-by sur le côté d'une route assez passante, juste en-dessous de maisons. La vue est belle mais nous ne nous sommes pas sentis à l'aiE de rester

    Great lay-by with a beautiful view! Road is busy but is quiet at night. Had a couple of people beep at us while here but other than that, no issues. No signs to say you can’t park or stay overnight, which we did. A few people came and parked next to us for a while but didn’t stay. Not close to anything and bad signal but the view was worth it.

    Great lay-by. Got here after dark on a Friday and empty. 1 more can when I woke up but no trouble during the night. Wake up to great views.

  • 4/5

    Stayed here one night. We got here early evening was the only one. Woke up to 5 vans squeezed in. Lots of unfriendly locals beeping horns.

    Stukje parking langs de doorgaande weg. Bovenop de berg dus mooi uitzicht op strand. Wel veel verkeer overdag. De nacht was rustig. Je kunt klein stukje over de weg en dan een smal pad naar beneden volgen en kom je bij strand. Ong 20 min lopen.

    Stopped for 1 night with no problems. Quiet at night with a beautiful view. This is what van life is all about

    Great spot to watch the sunset. Road was quiet on a Monday night. One other friendly camper. No phone reception.

  • 4/5

    Stayed here 2 nights with no bother, great view of the sea. There is no phone service but that didn’t matter too much. Can easily fit large campers/motorhomes

  • 5/5

    Lovely sea views and peaceful at night. Fairly level. We moved down to Porthtowan car park during the day and struggled to find anywhere else to park up the following night as most places are no overnight so stayed again. We had weak signal on EE & none on o2.

    Lovely spot, great views , space for 3/4 vans, didn’t stay overnight but no signs to say you can’t, fairly flat too

    très belle vue. emplacement pres de la route mais nous avons passé une nuit calme et profité d'un superbe couché de soleil. peu de voiture la nuit.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful views. We stayed one night here. Unfortunately it was fairly windy and the spot is quite exposed, but still managed to get a decent sleep considering. Otherwise no trouble and the road was quiet.

  • 5/5

    Cracking spot. Can fit 4/5 camper vans in. Overlooking houses but they’re all second homes/holiday cottages so not too concerning. Steep walk down to the beach just follow the road or off road it down the path

  • 5/5

    space for 3-4 campervans, 10 min steep footpath down to village. no signal.

    Brilliant spot for an over night stay, nice and peaceful with a amazing view

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz um die Nacht zu verbringen. In der Nacht sehr ruhig. Bei uns war es leicht bewölkt aber wir konnten trotzdem einen tollen Sonnenuntergang geniessen. Viele Spaziermöglichkeiten. Wir waren alleine von Samstag auf Sonntag. Gut möglich mit 7.5m Länge.

    Lovely view. Due to being close to houses and right on edge of cliff would be susceptible to strong winds. Ok for stopping for a spot of lunch but not an overnight stop.

  • 2/5

    There’s no cellular phone reception here for Vodafone users. Pretty spot for a layby but there’s zero phone service, so, for those that require it, nope.

  • 4/5

    Good spot mainly flat fits 3/4 vehicles. Lovely views. Stayed 1 night, 1 other camper there. Had no trouble, traffic died down by about 8/9 o’clock

  • 5/5

    Amazing view with breathtaking sunsets. Seen a LWB Sprinter reversed into the layby, so plenty big enough for multiple vehicles. Only ever busy at sunset in the summer with people parking up to quickly take photos. Peaceful and quiet the rest of the time.

    Lovely stop over. Nice views. The little town is great too.

  • 5/5

    Great spot with stunning views. Caught a spectacular sunset. Took a short 10 min scramble down the cliff to the beach as well as the Unicorn restaurant & bar for dinner - highly recommend.

  • 4/5

    Great spot! Stunning views, stayed for one night with no trouble. Row of houses on the other side of the road so be respectful.

  • 4/5

    Lovely view and no upset from locals but we did have an isolated incident of someone turning up at 4am blasting music then not being able to start their engine for hours (no lack of trying). Feels slightly residential but arrive late leave early and there shouldn't be any problems.

    Amazing place now traffic lovely view, we had a contained fire and were left alone, several other campers in a circle. homes behind are holiday let's and won't care about your presents if your respectful. driving to the sea front at 6 to get a space outside the bar, free from 6 till 12 midnight so you can be there all day.

  • 4/5

    Decent stop for the night. Fairly flat but no phone signal and overlooked by many houses. Space for 3 vans fairly tightly packed. Others pulled in for a while during our stay 9pm - 9am but did not seem to stay the night. Some cars driving past during the evening and morning hours. Good sea views!

  • 4/5

    Lovely place to stay greats view to wake up to. Quite near a busy road but still got some good sleep. 10 mins from the beach and toilets down by the beach

    Had this to ourselves xmas eve and it was great! Bit exposed so wouldn’t be great if it was very windy but the view is amazing and we had a quiet night although I would imagine it would be busier in the summer. No service on our phones but the van wifi with 3db antenna got 4g fine. Toilets down the hill at the beach were good.
