Food scene

Our favourite for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the quality of the food is always good and it is the best setting to watch the sunset. Outside are pods and a terrace which are all heated so even on a cold day its a great place to sit outside.

Always good, you have to just rock up, they don't take bookings and it does get busy as its so good, but definitely worth visiting. Again overlooking the harbour and steep staircase. Their takeaway food doesn’t seem to be as good.

The harbour beach is great to watch the boats bobbing around, and see the iconic pink house that sits on the beach. Good at low tide when you can walk almost to Porthminster (possible on a very low tide, wellies or bare feet! )

Another good swimming beach with life guards during summer, some great places to eat on and behind the beach. It’s in St Ives and just beyond the harbour along a quaint narrow street.

Always visit at low tide as this is when Kynance is at its best with caves and rocks as well as lovely sand. It is National Trust, you have to climb down over the rocks to access the beach. About a 50 minute drive.
