There has been quarrying activity in Porthoustock since the late nineteenth century. By the 1940's the quarries were owned by Amalgamated Roadstone and provided stone to build Cornwall's wartime airfields.
Analcime, analcite, epidote, hornblende, prehnite, calcite, diorite and pectolite are all minerals extracted from the quarries in Porthoustock.
A natural rock formation known as the Giant's Quoits stands on the cliffs above Porthoustock. The rocks once stood on Manacle Point but were moved to their current position in 1967 due to the expansion of the quarries.
