Magnificent views
Gyllyngvase is Falmouth’s main beach and one of the most popular in Cornwall. Warmed by the waters of the Gulf stream, with a wide arc of golden sand and inviting sea, it is a Blue Flag status beach. With its raised promenade it offers magnificent views across Falmouth Bay.
Gylly Beach Cafe is built over the beach and offers fantastic views from its sundrenched terrace and is open all year round. It’s menu includes lots of fish/shellfish, salads, tapas, accompanied by chilled out acoustic music sessions. Perfect for a romantic meal or a family gathering by the beach: http://www.gyllybeach.com
Deck-chair, volleyball and tennis-hire facilities are available.
Queen Mary Gardens adjoins the beach, as does the South West coast path.
Although dogs are not allowed on this beach between 10 am & 6 pm throughout 15th May to 30th September, other local beaches are less restrictive.
