 lou31 Says:  This restaurant has a very good reputation serving high quality and fresh local produce. The menu is limited though with only about 12 main dishes to choose from. Costs range from about 15 pound upwards.It is also open for lunch...12pm -3pm and has a selection of baguettes,... 

 lou31 Says:  This lovely pub overlooks the bay and has a nice little balcony where you can sit and enjoy the views. Inside was just as you would expect, with a timeless feel and loads of character. It was very much a quintessential Cornish seaside pub. I had two meals here. For lunch I... 

 lou31 Says:  There are two carparks. One is right down in the heart of the village in the harbour, the other a short walk up hill.If you choose to park in the harbour you will have to park right on the beach itself which poses two main problems. One is getting there...it is an exptremely...

 Geoff_Wright Says:  Port Isaac is still a working fishing port, but on a much reduced scale these days. I remember when it was difficult to walk between the fishing boats, and some of them even had sails in 'those' days, haha..The beach is rather a mess, and not much sand for the children. (a... 

 Geoff_Wright Says:  This picture of my son, Antony, and our new VT friend Julian (pufuletz), from Bucharest, Romania, was taken on 29th Feb 04. Just behind them and to the right, is the way to the beach where, ifthe tide is out, you ca park your car. The fee is £1.50, but it gets very crowded,... 

 Geoff_Wright Says:  Unfortunately, like so many small towns and villages, Port Isaac has suffered from the escalatiing cost of property, caused almost entirely by the City folk buying up vacant cottages as 'second' or 'holiday' homes. In Port Isaac this has resulted in the closure of some of...
