Great for scenic views
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

Nestled beneath the steep grassy slopes of St Ives “Island”, right on the beach with unbeatable and uninterrupted views across St Ives Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse. Now open all year round for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The café specialises in Mediterranean and Asian seafood cuisine and is an oasis of taste and visual beauty. The café is open daily for a selection of patisserie and the finest coffee.

A Holiday in St Ives would not be complete without going to the beach. Here at Porthgwidden Beach we have one of the cleanest beaches in the South West. We have been given the prestigious Blue Flag Award which guarantees the highest of standards.

A warm welcome awaited us when we arrived. Our waitress was lovely attentive but gave us time to enjoy our meal. The food is amazing as is the ambience. We always enjoy our visits to Porthgwidden Beach Cafe. Even in busy periods we have never felt rushed.
