In 1931 Rowena Cade began building this Grecian style amphitheatre on the granite cliffs above Porthcurno beach. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, it is a truly magical setting to watch a play while the sun goes down and the moon rises on long summer evenings. Make sure to wrap up and take a picnic and a blanket if catching an evening show (booking in advance is essential). The theatre can also be visited during the day for sightseeing.
