Trevaunance was the port for St Agnes. They persevered with a port here for 150 years but it kept getting destroyed in storms so eventually they gave up and St Agnes is now quintessentially an inland town. Trevaunance Cove now caters for surfers and families bathing in the Cove - on calm days!

The 'port' for St Agnes. Concerted efforts were made to build a harbour here in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and each time it would be destroyed by the elements. In the end they gave up. When the water is clear you can still the building blocks scattered out to sea at low tide. Today it is known as 'Aggie' by the surfers who frequent the cove (after St Agnes of course!).

The port for St Agnes, Trevaunance Cove has had a number of attempts at building and maintaining a harbour for ships loading tin and unloading coal for the local tin mine engine houses. Unfortunately, great storms destroyed every one!
