Delicious

Great service and great food. If you go when it is dark make sure you have a torch with you as the country lane isn’t lit. There is a footpath you can take but this is also very dark, but keeps you off the road, though not a busy road.

Sunday lunch

This pub never fails to impress - Sunday lunch is amazing, reasonably priced, and best to book a table to avoid disappointment.

Nearby beach

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Once home to a thriving pilchard industry, Portwrinkle boasts two beautiful beaches. With Hoodny Cove to the west and Finnygook Beach to the east, beach-goers are spoilt for choice. Both claiming sand and rocky shores, Portwrinkle's beaches are great for paddling, snorkeling and lounging in the sunshine. For refreshments, there is a beach cafe at Finygook and toilets are available nearby.

Beach time

Great rocky/shingle beach. Dog friendly part was well used. Paddling/swimming in the sea was better when the tide was out as you could see where the rocks were. Nice clean beach, steep path down

Nearby walk

A fairly strenuous walk along the coastal path with an option of a low tide meander along Downderry beach. iwalkcornwall give further details about this walk on their website and also lots of others.

Much needed halfway drink

We walked the coastal path from Portwrinkle to Downderry. Lovely 3 mile walk (to the pub), amazing scenery but very hilly. Steps followed by more steps. The path way is well established with lots of steps, not for the faint hearted but the satisfaction of completion was enjoyed by all. We stopped in Downderry at the Inn on the Shore, excellent pub. Drinks for our wak but returned (by car) for a lovely meal

Nearby town

Around the Rame Peninsula from Plymouth is the cleanest bay of water you can find, bordered by a Site of Special Scientific Interest and many a view-filled walk to busy yourself with. The village itself is a collection of converted pilchard cellars dating back from pilchard-selling days, giving an insight into olde worlde Cornwall living.

Beautiful sand and pebble beach, popular with surfers and bodyboarders. Short walk from car park (get there early in summer!) and cafe nearby. Finnygook is the eastern end of Portwrinkle, which itself consists of two beaches and marks the western extremity of Whitsand Bay.

Gorgeous sandy beach just the right size for letting children run free while small enough to still keep an eye on them. Convenient car park and small cafe. Slightly off the beaten track so a great place to get away from the crowds.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Making up part of the three-mile long Whitsand Bay, Tregonhawke Beach is a great spot to sit and while away the hours. Access is via a series of fairly steep steps or along from neighbouring beaches. Just be careful though as although low tide reveals large tracts of sand, at high tide this is all but covered up. Popular for surfing, swimming is only advised in lifeguarded areas.

Lovely stretch of beach

Florrie the dog

Really easy to get to along the coastal path..if you fancy a slightly easier walk head up on to the road once you have gone up the first set of steps and walk along to beach view cafe for the descent onto the beach (check the tide times) but it’s a lovely 3 mile beach and completely unspoilt. Eddies cafe is particularly good after all the walking and before you start the climb back up the steps!!

Unspoilt!

Parking is first come first served on the road at top. Not for the faint hearted or those with small children as the way up and down is very steep but once at the bottom the views are fantastic. Miles of sandy beach, well served by lifeguards within the flagged area. Cafe half way down. Not for those looking for a family beach with facilities but good for beach games, paddling and beachcombing. Go on a clear day when it's less windy.

Perfect for views far out to sea, large sandy beach well worth the climb with a welcoming cafe.

Devonport Inn

A lovely friendly pub overlooking Kingsand beach serving tea and coffee in the morning, and food/ cream teas lunchtimes and dinner in the evenings. We enjoy a dog walk in the morning and stopping there for a coffee or a bite to eat watching the world go by. Dog friendly and very reasonable prices. One of our favourites.

Lovely pub with a gorgeous view and the food looked fab. We walked from Captain Blake’s retreat (about 35 mins downhill) and caught the bus back. The bus stopped at the top of the road. Both the bus and pub dog friendly!

The Best of Lit and Music

Part lit fest, part music fest. Port Eliot takes all the best bits of a literary festival - Q&A's with your favourite authors, showcasing work from new writers and poets – and mixes them with the vibe of a music festival. One of the highlights at last year's festival (2010) was Jarvis Cocker taking over the decks for a late night DJ session in the dance tent. There is already excitement building around this year's festival with the announcement that legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese will be curating the Paradiso Outdoor Cinema.

Sand and shingle, Downderry Beach comes into its own at low tide. With lots of rock pools to explore and sheltered inlets offering private spots to sit and enjoy the sunshine, there is plenty of room for everyone. Although access to the main beach is easy, the eastern end is reached by a steep cliff path and many coves become cut off at high tide. The eastern end of Downderry Beach is a favourite amongst naturists.

wind and rain blown...but lovely

We walked and walked along here to get some "air" on the windiest wettest day of half term! We sand blasted all of our features smooth as there was a little too much air with sand! Young & old enjoyed ooing & aaaing at the beautiful pebbles and rock pools, though the kids could barely stand up straight for long! Would DEFINITELY like to return on a day with less "weather" !

Beach and food

Although staying just near Downderry we did not venture here to the last day but wished we had spent longer here - very clean and very long stretch of beach. The best evening meal we had here too at The Blue Plate - and suggest you book or you will have to be seated if room in the conservatory, it was superb - a little pricey and adults only really but really really good quality and plenty of locals eating there which speaks volumes!
