Local pubs and restaurants, Flushing has a number of alternatives – The Royal Standard is suppose the be good. The Harbour House is a more upmarket and has an interesting and tasty menu.
Pandorras Inn is nice for a drink and has a floating pontoon that you sit on.
Falmouth has some good restaurants, including Indidog, the Shack and Hooked on the Rocks for seafood, The Cove, Mine, and The Star and Garter, which are all excellent. The Hidden Hut (great food and location) at Porthcurnick Beach, Roseland Peninsula, is another fav. The Ferryboat Inn at the Helford Passage is also great. For breakfast/brunch Slice of Cornwall near Constantine is nice you either need to book ahead or you should be able to sit outside if you arrive without a booking. https://www.sliceofcornwall.com/
There are a couple of good local takeaways – for fish and chips, there is The Mariners at Penryn, and Harbour Lights in Falmouth. The Bango Kitchen in Penryn does ‘Asian fusion’ – amazing Bao buns and sushi. All need ordering ahead. You will find their contact numbers & menus online.
There are many beautiful walks around but the coastal path is definitely a must particularly around the beautiful Helford river area. Here you can also find beaches full of seashells and good places to go for a dip! Visit Helford Passage and you can take a little passenger ferry to the other side of the river which is very picturesque too.
Recommended day trips the Lizard Peninsula (Kynance Cove is beautiful) and the Helford area (The Shipwright’s Arms is a lovely pub – opposite side of the passage to Ferryboat Inn). The Eden Project, St Michael’s Mount, The Minack Theatre (outdoor theatre on a cliff – spectacular), beaches on the Roseland Peninsula (Porthcurnick Beach with the Hidden Hut Café, Towan and Carne beaches are all lovely),
Cornwall is renowned for its beautiful gardens due to its temperate climate. Trelissick, Glendurgan, Trebah. There is a wonderful sculpture park, garden and café called Tremenheere, which is near Penzance
Surf beach suggestions: The North coast is know for its wild craggy beaches and surf. Holywell Bay, Crantock and Gwithian or Godrevy. Porthtowan is also one of the closest and has lifeguards. Surfboards and wetsuits can be hired – probably worth calling ahead. There is Tris Surf Shop at Porthtowan – 01209 890990. Praa Sands on the South Coast can also be very good in the right conditions.
A nice day trip is to take the Cornwall Ferries passenger ferry from Falmouth to St Mawes (Where Emmie and Tim got engaged!!), have a Cornish pasty or crab sandwich and an ice cream, a bit of a wander through the pretty village and a dip in their crystal clear waters, then ferry back again https://www.falriver.co.uk/ferries or river trips up to Trelissick Gardens with Enterprise Boats.
Falmouth- If you are in Falmouth there is a lovely high street with galleries and independent shops, lots of cafes and restaurants. For lunch we like Sabzi’s Middle Eastern salads.
