👍👍 A great place, if you’re after an amazing beach then this is the place for you.
When the tide is out it’s vast, as in really vast!
On a decent day it’s a feast for the eyes with all the amazing colours, clean clear water, St.Ives and Carbis Bay in the horizon.
Parking can be a little tricky and the...

The Cabin
Cafe
👍👍 'Caff' style eating spot: you order at the counter and grab your own cutlery. It's popular with walkers and it's located right on the coastal path. Food was great quality and the view is amazing. A top place to eat in Cornwall.

👍 Gorgeous setting and layout. One of the best campsites we've stayed at for generous, well-kept pitches and attractive planting to separate pitches and campers. But shower block unheated (April) and showers very temperamental in terms of hot/cold!!😱 I'm sure most of this will be incidental come Augu...

Highlanes Fish & Chips
Fish and chips takeaway
😠 Extremely disappointed. We went here based on the positive reviews, which I don’t think are true. The fish was wrapped in so much paper and all of the batter was stuck on the paper, ended up having bare fish.
Never mind having crispy batter, there was no batter at all. Plenty of other fish and chips...
