We love this place. They do a great flat white and our children love the hot chocolate with cream and toasted marshmallows. There is a good choice of ice cream flavours in individual tubs. There is warm food too including pasties from Malcolm Barnecutt. The manager, Martin, is super friendly and accommodating. We will be sure to return when we are next in Cornwall.

We visited this shop whilst walking across the beaches. It's a great little shop, local business with friendly staff all serving excellent tea, coffee, ice-cream and treats. Their coffee cups are recyclable and compostable - doing a little bit to make a big difference to our environment. What's more, there's a well maintained toilet next door with an honesty box to help with the upkeep of the toilet

Wonderful to have this facility and needs support to keep going great pasties and a beer by the beach also does prosecco. We really enjoyed our week there although it was off season. The staff are friendly and the toilets are kept spruce used by all beach goers but the charge is voluntary so no need to worry about being out of change. The beach is perfect rock pools surf sand and lifeguards. On of our favourite places.

Parking cost £5 all day and we spent most the morning afternoon there swimming and renting out the paddle board! Had a really nice time here at this beach wished we took the body boards with us and it would of been so amazing! Did some rock pooling and found some fish and baby shrimps and lobsters but put them back at the end of the day.
