Porthoustock is a gradual sloping shore site with a maximum depth of 10m. With a harbour wall to the left and reef to the right and a shingly/sandy floor between, this allows for a great variety of marine life. Also an ideal site for training entry-level divers.
Expect to see burrowing species such as anemones, worms and certain crab species. As well as cuttlefish, stalked jellyfish, reef fish, crabs lobsters etc.
