Carlyon beach is also 5-6 mins away or a 15/20 minute walk. This coastline is particularly good for paddle boarding and canoeing due to the bays protection from winds etc - unlike the north coast.

See my guidebooks on recommendations.

Handy for breakfast or just coffee when you want that lazy well deserved morning brecky! Dave and the team are exceptionally welcoming. Open 9-5pm in season Also and almost opposite is the beautiful 'Brocante' gift, homeware and apparel shop. Previously only in Mevagissey,St Ives and Fowey and now opened Dec 21 in Charlestown.
