Poldhu Beach by Emma

Leah Smith • 30 June 2025

I have found my new favourite place to spend a Sunday whether it is a gorgeous summer morning or a crisp winter day. I absolutely love Poldhu!!!


The car park is directly across the road of the beach, which is free to park in during the winter months.  On the beach is Poldhu Beach Cafe,  which serves the most delicious "breakfast in a box” and one of the best caramel iced lattes I have had…. I have had quite a few. 


Once we had finished breakfast we headed down onto the sand to explore the beach, which is suitable for sand castle building, beach games, and great for swimming, bodyboarding and surfing.


Next to the Cafe is the beach shop where you can purchase a 'Poldhu' beanie or hoodie.


We then followed the road out of Poldhu, up the hill and headed towards Mullion, exploring Mullion Cove and then a visit to the Chocolate Factory, where you can see chocolate being made and purchased a few samples from the shop.  There is a few little independent shops within the Chocolate factory to purchase other goodies.
