Porthgwidden Beach Cafe
About
Porthgwidden Beach Café is a hidden gem tucked away on the historic island of St Ives. Open all year round, the café offers a comforting blend of breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch menus featuring fresh Cornish produce, vegan and gluten‑free options, and family‑friendly dishes. With free Wi‑Fi, high‑chairs, and a relaxed table‑service style, it’s perfect for casual diners, late‑night cravings, and wedding celebrations. The café’s airy glass‑roofed terrace opens onto a sheltered beach, providing uninterrupted views of St Ives Bay and the famous Godrevy Lighthouse. An adjacent takeaway & bar serves quick bites and drinks on wooden benches overlooking the sea, while comfortable beach pods provide a convenient storage solution for visitors’ beach gear. Dog owners are warmly welcomed on the terrace and outside the takeaway, and the café can accommodate small wedding parties up to 50 people in its intimate beach‑side setting.
