Passionate, dedicated and focused...

Three simple words describe how we feel about making sure Gylly Beach Cafe stays and remains as green as possible. The changes we make now to better ourselves and our surroundings will help make sure Gylly Beach is as beautiful now as it will be in 100 years.

We understand how important the environment is to you and to us, and so we are constantly changing and reaccessing how we as a cafe and as part of the community can make sure our trade has a minimum impact on our environment. Please take a look at our Environmental Policy.

We have been continuing our environmental improvements for the past 5 years and were always finding new ways to cut down waste or save water, so take a look at Gyllys Visitor Charter and see how you can help...

Reduce, reuse and recycle...

Try to avoid items with a lot of packaging and say no to that extra carrier bag, instead buy a jute bag! Make sure any waste you do have you recycle as much of it as you can! For more ways to reduce, reuse and recycle visit

Get out of the car...

Thats right, give your car a holiday too! There are many more exciting and healthier ways to get around Cornwall such as park and float, or why not get a bike and use those things attached to your body... your legs! We are just minutes away from Falmouth Town train station and about 30 secs walk from Gyllyngvase Beach bus stop so you should have no excuse to cut down your car use!

Enjoy Cornwall at its best...

Without the love and care of the Falmouth community and council, Gyllyngvase Beach would not have a blue flag and the adjoining gardens would not have green flag both being prestigious national awards! So make sure you get out there and see what other beauties and wonders Falmouth and Cornwall have to offer. To get you started
