If you want a good walk/cycle then try the coastal path to Marazion. Beach is excellent with views over St Michael’s Mount and plenty of parking.

You can visit the museum and cafe even when there is no performance. If you manage to get tickets for an event it is a breathtaking location.

Food scene
2 Fore Street Restaurant
2 Fore StConsistently good food in a beautiful location.
Fish restaurant. Very popular and at the moment do not take bookings .. you have to queue although they are about to open a second restaurant 2 days away and it should be easier to get in during the Summer. Judged as one of the best places to eat in Cornwall.

Do not leave Newlyn without trying this legendary ice cream. Only vanilla is made but you won’t regret trying it ..maybe with clotted cream and a flake. Opposite the Bridge Italian restaurant but during the Summer you will locate it because of the continuous queue outside.
