The Local Area
Porthtowan Stuff – working backwards from the beach
- The Blue Bar – the one at the back of the beach – a must visit! Popular with both locals and tourists. Perfect for sunsets or a bite to eat and a refreshing drink after a hard day enjoying yourself.

- Moomaid Ice Cream Parlour – adjacent to the Blue Bar – selling a range of locally made ice creams. I highly recommend trying the Orange and Mascarpone flavour for something a bit different!

- Porthowan Beach Café – next one back from Moomaid. Breakfasts, coffees, cakes, sandwiches, lunches, themed burger nights etc. all yummy in our opinion. See the menu further back in this folder.

- Tris Surf Shop – to the right of the Beach Café. Well stocked surf shop, surf lessons and surf hire.

- Porthtowan Beach Shop – between the car park and the surf shop/café etc. Buckets and spades galore, beach toys, towels etc.
- Unicorn Pub – pretty much right outside the back door.
- Eskinzo Surf School – in the Unicorn car park. They offer surf lessons, paddle boarding, beach yoga and massages.
- Seasmiths Fish and Chips – just up the road heading away from the beach, past the Unicorn and on the right hand side next to the Premier Shop. Lots of our guests rave about this place! It is best to pre order your food via the click and collect on the website – this gets booked up quickly during busy summer days so make sure you book a slot nice and early.

- Premier Shop – just up the road heading away from the beach, past the Unicorn and on the right hand side. Well stocked convenience store, off licence and bakery section, with fresh bread and pastries during peak season.
