Be drawn in by the smell of freshly baked goods at Stones Bakery that are prepared on-site each morning, sample the sweet and savoury goods along with a barista prepared coffee.

Be tempted by the promise of a rustic meal at the Boathouse or go to The Star and Garter to indulge in local ingredients at the gastropub. Before jumping on a ferry for an excursion on the water you could grab something to-go, then dangle your legs over the water at the Prince of Wales Pier.

You're never far from a beach in Cornwall, and Falmouth has some of the best.
There is so much to explore on foot. The Blue-flag Gyllyngvase is the most popular beach in town, a 20 minute stroll away through town, but be sure to factor in time for distractions along the way, the sights and sounds of the bustling high street. Gylly benefits from RNLI lifeguards during the summer and a brilliant café and restaurant.
Castle Beach and Swanpool Beach sit either side of Gyllyngvase.

For seclusion, head over to the Helford River, where secret coves and quiet beaches are managed by the National Trust nestle within verdant, treelined riverbanks. Pack your swimming attire to make the most of the clear waters of South Cornwall.
Life just feels better with sand in your toes and salt in your hair.

Part of the appeal of the Cornish way of life is embracing the outdoors, if you fancy embodying this naturalistic rural way of living, a trip to the breath-taking Helford River area is needed! Either take a boat or a short drive over to the renowned ancient woodland and creeks that are simply brimming with nature.

Allow serenity into your life, slowly taking in the unspoilt iconic Frenchman's Creek, of Daphne du Maurier fame. Perfect for a complete day out with the subtropical gardens housing rare exotic plants, flourishing here in the southern Cornish climate to a dog friendly beach with crystal clear waters, there's something for everyone! Even an ideal spot to enjoy a local ale at Ferryboat Inn before heading home to The Pink House.
