Fancy a brew with a view? The Mermaid Café sits right by the beautiful sandy beach in Gorran Haven, Cornwall, meaning that you can sip your coffee or slurp your ice cream while practically (or literally, at high tide!) dipping your toes in the sea …
There’s no better place to come and chill out for an hour or two, or even for the whole day. Bring along a blanket and your buckets and spades, and we’ll provide delicious barista coffee, pastries, pasties, picnic goodies, cold Cornish beers, Callestick Farm ice creams and an array of tempting treats. Best of all, you’ll barely have to move from your beach towel!
We are open almost every day, come rain or shine, from just before Easter right through to the end of October.
We may occasionally have to close when the weather is so terrible that no-one is venturing out and/or people can’t get to the café because of the waves!
We are normally open from 10am to 5pm but hours may vary depending on the weather and time of year.
