Eddystone's Cafe history goes back to 1940s
Eddystone Cafe is located on the best surf beach on the South Coast at the bottom of Tregonhawke cliff, Whitsand Bay in the 'forgotten corner' of Cornwall, We have an MSW webcam mounted on the front wall so that the sea and surf conditions can be viewed live during daylight hours.
The cafe is seasonal and we open for the Easter Holidays to kick start our season.
Otherwise we are open every sunny weekend during the winter season.
The RNLI bought the surf hut next door last year so from May to October we are assured of safe bathing plus sympathy and hot water for anyone stepping on a weaver fish!
Our menu for 2021 is planned to be upgraded with tasty lunchtime specials as well as the standard beach cafe fayre and the best, (only) chips for miles around!
We were badly hit by the storms in January & February 2014 but should have completely got over that and be a better place to visit for many years to come.
WHAT'S NEW......
We've upgraded our patio - see the gallery below. In 2021 we're planning to run more adventurous activities and provide excellent cafe service including tasty specials, popular BBQs and good old favourites.

Stunning sandy beach
The Beaches of Whitsand Bay are fabulous - and NEVER crowded - access is quite hard work and car parking facilities extremely poor, except for our guests - with Council Wardens descending upon unwary motorist who leave even part of a wheel on the road between May and September!
Approximately 5 miles of beach is exposed at low tide and a lot of them are washed clean twice a day - there are many paths down the cliffs to the beaches but some people do get cut off occasionally so please bring your common sense with you - tide tables are available in the cafe and our apartments!
