  With its bright and airy decor which reflects the coastal setting, the Beach Cafe is the perfect place for a tasty snack.

  We have light lunches, delicious cakes and freshly-baked scones on offer, locally sourced where possible, including our traditional Cornish pasties.

  For those summer days, we have Cornish ice cream available to cool you down. You can also treat your four-legged friends to some dog ice cream at Tintagel Castle.
