The delightful and picturesque Port Quin is a hamlet and small cove situated on the north coast of Cornwall between Polzeath and Port Isaac. Port Quin itself is just a handful of former fishermen's cottages situated at the end of a narrow rocky inlet in Port Quin Bay which extends from Kellan Head on the north-east side of the inlet up to The Rumps. Port Quin was once a thriving fishing village, however during a storm in 1698 the entire fishing fleet was destroyed and none of the fishermen returned to Port Quin alive, their families then left and moved to Port Isaac leaving Port Quin deserted. The cottages in Port Quin are now primarily owned by the National Trust and rented out as holiday homes.
