Delicious fish tapas style food - the most amazing fresh fish tapas, fish of the day, crab nachos, tasty chips and local Cornish beers and wines too. I love the atmosphere and staff. They do not take bookings so: just show up, you may have to wait in a queue but don't be put off as it never takes long to get seated and they make the food super fresh and fast. Its just on the bridge as you drive into Newlyn. One of the best bites to eat in town.

Looks very simple - but has amazing food! My best take away for Indian fresh cooked food - they do some great wrap type things too for carrying to the beach. Get there early ish as the wait can be a bit long due to their popularity!

The jewell in the Bay, Mounts Bay! This is the most beautiful sight as I drive back to PZ, just over the hill from Crowlas I see the mount and I feel all is well. Watch the sunrise from the beach as it comes up over the mount....or walk over the causeway at low tide to visit the castle. If the tide is in you can catch the boat!

GWENVER BEACH - NOT SENNEN! NEXT DOOR TO SENNEN - TURN RIGHT BEFORE THE CHURCH OF THE SURFERS ON THE WAY TO SENNEN. This has a car park that is £2 all day, there is no cafe or toilets though - hence it does not get too busy. Its quite a walk down some steps but then: STUNNING white sandy beach and nearly always good waves / surf. There are life guards here. I think Dogs are allowed all year round too.

The local people of PZ have been swimming here daily since the beginning of time, there are groups that go together and others that go alone...some swim right to Newlyn. I love to lay on the rocks in the hot sun and then have a few dips, always amazing how blue the sea is.
