The nearest towns are [[Wadebridge]] and [[Camelford]], each {{convert|10|mi|km|spell=in}} away. A nearby hamlet, [[Port Gaverne]], is sometimes considered to be part of Port Isaac. The meaning of the village's [[Cornish language|Cornish]] name, ''Porthysek'', is "corn port", indicating a trade in corn from the arable inland district. From 2004 to 2022, the village served as the backdrop to the ITV television series ''[[Doc Martin]]''. It also is home to the [[Sea shanty|sea-shanty]] singing group [[Fisherman's Friends]].
