By far our favourite place to visit in Cornwall. It's not overly big and busy, but big enough to have everything you need. A nice beach, multiple pubs, loads of food choices including Indian, Chinese, Thai, Greek, Mexican,Italian, Pizza, as well as some great British food in places like Smugglers Cott and the Sardine Factory. Very friendly town, with easy parking, good transport links to other towns, and always plenty to do and see.
