Food scene
The beach is huge at low tide and you can always find a private spot - there are some great foodie places here too. About 5-10 mins in the car or you can enjoy a walk along the coastal path from Porth to Watergate. Also a great surfing beach.

Just a beautiful place to roam - lots of different areas to explore and an amazing cafe for lunch using a lot of their own produce. There is also a shop and a separate farm shop. It’s worth the 45 minutes drive which is scenic in itself.

City/town information
Truro is the only city in Cornwall. A 30- 40 minutes drive away with lots of parking. It is quaint with a beautiful cathedral and windy back streets. Loads of lovely places to eat & stop for refreshments. Not a massive shopping centre in sight.
