Sunset Surf

About

Sunset Surf is Cornwall’s only beach‑side café, bar and surf‑hire hub, tucked into the dunes of Gwithian Towans. From a full‑English breakfast to a creamy afternoon tea, the menu is built on local produce and serves guests with a slanted loaf of the sea. The coffee is strong, the smoothies lush, and the fish and chips fresh – every item is cooked with the same regional pride that runs through the café’s interior. For surf‑enthusiasts, Global Boarders run a flexible surf school, offering lessons to all ages, complemented by a comprehensive hire service that sells wetsuits, bodyboards, soft‑top boards and stand‑up paddleboards. The café’s dog‑friendly policy welcomes well‑behaved dogs on‑l‑and‑dogs, making it an ideal spot for beach‑goers and families alike. With a private terrace overlooking the tide, on‑site breakfast and open‑air seating, Sunset Surf delivers a true seaside experience, both on the board and after‑glow drinks in the evening. Because the café is a combination of a restaurant and surf‑hire centre, it operates winter‑hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, with the same schedule on weekends. Bookings for café tables are first‑come, first‑served, but surf lessons must be booked in advance via Global Boarders. The café prides itself on being dog‑friendly, warm, and community‑focused, with a focus on sustainability and local sourcing.
