A magical position overlooking Porthminster Beach just below the revamped Tate with brilliant views creates an amazing setting for this beloved modern hut/café. As one of Cornwall’s better-known eateries, it’s almost always worth reserving, but if you can’t get a reservation then the fish and chips from their takeaway downstairs is almost as good.

When we first moved to Cornwall we owned 2 Fore Street for several years before we left Mousehole for Marazion. We passed 2 Fore Street into the capable hands of Joe Wardell who has made it what it is today.
With his varied and interesting menu of delicious local produce, Raymond Blanc-trained chef Joe knows how to totally blow you away at his Harbourside cottage restaurant. Given the setting, a stones throw away from the quay, it’s no surprise to find an innovative fish heavy menu which changes weekly.
Reserve a seat in the window for a sea view, or out in the garden for an alfresco experience.

Sightseeing
The beach here is truly stunning my favourite in Cornwall with turquoise water. Also its home to the Minack theatre definitlely worth a visit.
you can watch a show or just visit and have a coffee and see how the theatre was built by a woman called Rowena Cade in the cliffs there in the 1930s, its a remarkable story and there is a little cinema there where you can watch old slides showing you how it was completed.

The Isles of Scilly lie just off the coast of Cornwall but are a world apart in every way. A natural wonder, like a cluster of precious ocean jewels.
Everything looks and feels quite different on Scilly - simpler, kinder, more innocent. Life moves at an easier pace.
Perfect for a day trip, you can reach the Scilly's via ferry or helicopter from Penzance.

Situated on the opposite side of St Ives Bay, Hayle is famed for it's 'three miles of golden sand'. The beaches start at the mouth of the estuary, regarded as an international quality bird-watching spot.
Following the cresent of the beach brings you to the first lifeguard patroled beach - Hayle Towans. Slightly more sheltered from the Atlantic waves and at nearly 2 miles long there's plenty of room for the whole family. Next is Gwithian, popular with both locals and holiday makers. This is one of the most popular surfing beaches in the area and holds a decent sized swell. The Hayle sands end with Godrevey Point with the lighthouse on an island about 50 metre out to sea. The point is national trust owned as is the car park.
