Sunny sky and stormy seas in Charlestown today. The inner harbour is now tidal following storm damage to the harbour gate this week. Hopefully scheduled repairs will be underway soon.

This article has lots of good ideas for enjoying your week at Duporth Lodge. 😀

If you’re craving a week of seaside bliss, stunning landscapes, and maybe a pasty or two, St Austell Bay in south Cornwall is right up your alley. This horse-shoe-shaped corner of the county is characterised by its sandy beaches, fishing villages and coastal walks. Here’s how to spend a week in St Austell Bay.

Where is St Austell Bay?
St Austell Bay is set on the south coast, with St Austell, Cornwall’s largest town, at its centre. The bay stretches from Pentewan and Trenarren in the west, around to popular Carlyon Bay and Par Sands, and over to Polkerris in the east.

St Austell Bay’s ‘Cornish Alps’, stunning coastline and landscaped gardens offer a variety of landscapes to explore. Add in plenty of golden sandy beaches and pretty seaside villages, and you have the perfect destination for an escape by the sea.

Seven days of things to do in St Austell Bay
Get ready for a week that’s a great blend of relaxation and adventure.

Happy New Year! This list has some interesting recommendations for vegan food options if you are out and about in Cornwall. Or you can order in a takeaway dinner from St. Austell’s own Plant Based Takeaway . One of our own favourite lunch choices is the spiced cauliflower pasty from local The Cornish Bakery in Mevagissey and Fowey. Might just have to pop out now !😋

Veganism is on the rise – nearly 2.5 million people around the world have officially taken part in Veganuary since it launched in January 2014. If you’re going to try out a plant-based diet in 2024 and are thinking of heading to Cornwall but don’t know where to eat, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re just dabbling or are already more bean than beef, we’re sharing the best vegan restaurants in Cornwall.

Hankering after a Cornish pasty but need it meat-free? No problem – we also know where to find vegan alternatives to some of Cornwall’s classic dishes so you don’t have to miss out. With so many incredible food options for people visiting Cornwall, it’s time to bring together the best spots in the duchy for meat-free meals.
