Magnificent views
Gyllyngvase is Falmouth’s main beach and one of the most popular in Cornwall. Warmed by the waters of the Gulf stream, with a wide arc of golden sand and inviting sea, it is a Blue Flag status beach. Set just off the main link road that leads to the Castle headland the beach, with its raised promenade, offers magnificent views across Falmouth Bay.
The beach and immediate surroundings offer excellent facilities for all the family , including disabled visitors who can book an ‘all terrain’ wheelchair from the cafe.
Gylly Beach Cafe is built over the beach and offers fantastic views from its sundrenched terrace and is open all year round. Family run, it prides itself on utilising fresh local produce wherever possible. It’s menu includes lots of fish/shellfish, salads, tapas, accompanied by chilled out acoustic music sessions. Perfect for a romantic meal or a family gathering by the beach: http://www.gyllybeach.com
