Porthminster Beach Cafe

You walk down to Porthminster Beach and suddenly there it is: a cafe that's somehow managed to stay unpretentious despite having one of the best seats in town. The whole place faces the water, so you're eating lunch with the Atlantic basically on your plate. It's the kind of spot where locals bring visitors to show off, but it never feels like you're being fleeced for the location. The seafood comes straightforward—no fussy tricks—which means the quality of what's landed that morning actually matters. On a decent day, you'll understand why people move to Cornwall.
