Gwithian Towans is a little oasis. Home to Three Mile Beach and our 19 luxury beach houses. But we're not alone. There's a great selection of cafes in Gwithian. Quirky old coastguard lookouts turned cafes. Horsebox come café nestled in the dunes on Gwithian beach. All tried and tested.
Gwithian Towans Cafes
Chomp Outdoor Kitchen and Bar
It's our very own restaurant serving an ever-changing menu embracing the four seasons and champions local produce. Everything is cooked from scratch by Chefs Olly and Rob. Think locally foraged mussels or halloumi fries with a hand-crafted gooseberry sweet chilli sauce. All washed down with locally distilled gins, fine ales, creative cocktails and soft drinks.
Sunset Surf
This is right next door to Three Mile Beach. And that makes us very happy. It’s loved by surfers, locals, and visitors. Dogs and kids love it here. The menu stars breakfasts like Veggie Surfer (a lovely full English) and Belgian Waffle Stack (not very English but very, very good). Lunchtime highlights include Five Bean Nachos and pizzas. It’s open seven days a week in high season but winter times vary so check to avoid disappointment.
How far? A tiny walk.
When can I go? All year.
Jam Pot Cafe
Standing on the headland, this seriously cute café is was originally a 19th-century coastguard lookout. Now, it’s all about serving simple things well. It’s one for breakfast, sandwiches, cream teas, coffee, cakes, and pasties all lovingly. The garden is an ideal spot for enjoying your treats with views across the beautiful bay to St Ives.
How far? A short walk.
When can I go? Every day of the week 10–4 in high season. Opening times vary at other times of the year, so check their Facebook page before you head over there.
Kabyn Cafe
This is another quirky option. Down on the beach at Gwithian, to the right of the lifeguard hut steps, set back close to the dunes, you’ll find a converted horsebox serving cream teas, coffees, and cakes including vegan options.
How far? A short walk.
When can I go? The weather makes or breaks a Kabyn Cafe trip so check in on Insta to see if they’ll be there.
Godrevy Cafe
We love this breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot. It’s dog-friendly, vegan-friendly, and just all-round super friendly. It’s a popular one, so get there early in the summer months to avoid queuing out the door.
How far? A 15-minute walk along Gwithian beach.
When can I go? All year.
