Gyllyngvase Beach, or Gylly Beach it is more commonly known, is the main beach in Falmouth and my local one. It is particularly beautiful on a sunny day, but also a peaceful place even when the weather isn’t so kind. It can still look beautiful on a stormy day, with the waves crashing in.

There can be plenty of sunbathers but the beach never feels too crowded. I love to sit on the benches next to the beach and watch the world go by. Near the path you can find groups of people enjoying their time by playing volleyball. I always feel so grateful that this is on my doorstep.

On the beach is the awesome Gylly Beach Cafe.  There is the takeaway bit with a hatch where you can buy food and drink to take onto the beach.  Opposite is the main cafe where you can sit down and enjoy a varied menu of excellent food and drink. And take in the views. You can sit indoors or in the newly built outside area. Both are lovely and well worth a visit.
