Best Beach in Kynance Cove. ****

"The view is beyond gorgeous and the coffee is nice and strong. They don’t do the BIGGEST coffees (I would like them to be maybe double the size), but the combination of taste and setting still makes this a great place to have a coffee. I love to sit outside on a sunny day on the terrace."

"Porthmeor Beach Café is directly opposite the buzzy Tate Gallery. A lively café overlooking Porthmeor Beach, it’s the perfect vantage point for watching the surf. The eclectic menu is designed to be shared – order a bunch of small plates, sit back and enjoy the view."

"It may be obvious, but for us, some of the best ways to enjoy the view of the sea is to be as close as possible!. Porthmeor Beach Café ticks that box. Perched on the edge of the shore, Porthmeor Beach Café truly offers some of the most magical views."

"Hidden in a white-sand cove at the foot of St Ives’ Island, this is the lesser-known little sister of the eminent Porthminster Café. A smaller, more relaxed version of its famous relative, here the best local ingredients are wrapped into dishes such as paella and moules marinière. As well as a kids’ menu and delicious cakes, its family-friendly credentials are boosted by nearby parking and outdoor seating overlooking the beautiful Blue Flag beach.www.porthgwiddencafe.co.uk"

"Porthminster Beach image by John Stratford licensed under CC2.0. What’s to love: So many of St Ives’ beaches could be described as picturesque, but Porthminster should probably take the crown, thanks to its white sands, crystal blue waters, palm trees and view of Godrevy Lighthouse. The mild climate, calm waters, selection of great facilities, and proximity to St Ives town centre make it an extremely popular beach, particularly with families."

"Retaining the 1930's feel, the beach has a putting green and chalets and is well protected by the town and piers. The beach has cafes at each end and boasts one of St Ives' most popular restaurants where you can enjoy a fine meal overlooking the beach. Porthminster Beach has been awarded a Blue Flag and Seaside Award for 2018."

"Porthgwidden Beach is situated on a cosy little cove flanked by rocks just around the headland from Porthmeor. The Island behind it provides some shelter from the wind, making it a pleasant spot to unwind in the calm. There is a good beach café at Porthgwidden, standing next to rows of white beach huts with colourful doors that glint against the sunlight."

"Porthgwidden Beach image by Matt Brown licensed under CC2.0. What’s to love: A small sandy cove at the western headland of St Ives Bay, Porthgwidden Beach is particularly popular with families thanks to its small range of facilities, including the Porthgwidden Café. The beach is sheltered from the prevailing winds, making it a popular sun trap."

"Porthgwidden Beach is a much smaller beach, nestling between 'the Island' and the old pier. Usually the quietest beach in the town it is ideal for those seeking a little peace and quiet. Patrolled by lifeguards during the summer season."

"This beach is something of a well-kept secret, because during high tide it doesn’t exist!. At low tide, though, you’ll find an excellent beach that rarely gets busy – even during the summer holidays!. The ruins of the Wheal Dream tin mine overlook this secluded beach, one of the only tin mines to have been in St Ives."

"There are few towns anywhere which can rival St Ives for both number and quality of beaches. There are no less than five beautiful sandy beaches within easy walking distance of St Ives town centre. St Ives has few rivals for the crown of Cornwall's best beach town."

"Harbour Beach is located as the name implies in the working harbour of St Ives. It’s a sandy beach with the shimmering sea at its front and behind is home to the shops, galleries, cafes, amusement arcades, and everything that you would associate with an iconic seaside town. There is always lots going on here and there’s nothing better than sitting on one of the benches and looking out to the boats bobbing in the water."

"The Harbour Beaches can be found at the Smeatons pier end of the Wharf and beside the old slipway. These are increasingly popular and of course are right in the heart of the town (although all the beaches are never far away). From here you can take a tour of the bay under your own steam in a self drive hire motor boat or relax and take in the view."

"Gyllyngvase Beach is just a ten-minute stroll along the seafront and is the longest stretch of sand in Falmouth. Wander the coastal path from Gyllyngvase and it will take you along the cliffs to the next beach (Swanpool) in just five minutes. You can continue on a longer hike from here to Maenporth or just enjoy a coffee or a spot of lunch at Hooked on the Rocks at Swanpool where you can enjoy a slap up seafood delight."

"It's all about the experience here as Hubbox was converted from a former chapel into a restaurant. The menu provides the very best of Cornish ingredients including handmade burgers, hot dogs made from 98 per cent free-range pork as well as delicious pulled-pork sandwiches and fish dishes.

"Moving from the busy shipping container on Lemon Quay into a converted church in the heart of Truro, this Hub Box boasts the original playful interior desig ..."

"24/05/2021: Firstly, I must confess… this review come from a meat eating reluctant vegan perspective. (Being lactose intolerant I find myself more and more opting for vegan options just out of ease).Now that’s out the way, I can honestly say this was the best vegan dining experiences I’ve ever had. Lovely setting in the centre of town, but on a quieter road, quaint building with a light and airy atmosphere."

"we both follow a vegan lifestyle and are very proud of our cornish roots, having originated and been educated in our great county; where we have the love an ..."
