Gyllyngvase beach is a popular tourist destination for swimming and has been successful in achieving a Blue Flag for a number of years. To be eligible for the award, the beaches have to meet various criteria which fall into the following categories:

Water quality
Environmental education and information
Environmental management
Safety and services

Water quality is regularly monitored by the Environment Agency from May through to September.  The quality standards achieved at Gyllyngvase beach have been consistently excellent throughout the 2010 bathing season (excellent means the bathing water meets the strict guideline standards).  This level of water quality has been maintained year-on-year.

Cornwall Council would like to assure all visitors that the bathing water at Gyllyngvase beach consistently reaches the highest quality standards and remains one of the safest beaches for swimming in the county.

For further information on Bathing Water Quality Results and CSOs please visit the Cornwall Councils Beach Management website on http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=24910 or the Environment Agency’s water quality results page.

Last seen in Cornwall supporting reggae artist Natty at a sellout show in Falmouth the fresh, soulful and rebellious songstress Aruba Red (who is touring in the right part of the world considering she is aptly named after a female pirate legend) is due back in the South West for a string of dates at the beginning of September.

Aruba whose style falls somewhere in between Buffy Sainte-Marie and Finley Quaye, has already achieved seriously impressive heights as an independent artist; featured by iTunes in their Best of’ category, reaching top 10 playlist on Jamaicas biggest radio station with Struggling featuring Jah Mason, being selected by BBC Radio 1 as Hottest Homegrown and chosen as Alternative Jam on BBC 1Xtra.

She has collaborated with the award winning Nitin Sawhney and the legendary Mad Professor, toured with Natty, Fat Freddys Drop and opened for Soul II Soul at Wembley Arena. With residencies at Londons Royal Festival Hall and Roundhouse, hosting her own stage at the Big Chill Festival and founding the capitals hottest new live music night Strange Brew, Miss Red has left audiences falling in love with her passionate set and fiery lyrics.

Recently headlining the sell-out Emerging Proms Festival and soon to be releasing her forthcoming debut smash Light Up Light Up with Jamaican superstar Jah Cure, there seems to be no stopping this unique trail blazer.

Look out for Arubas limited edition acoustic EP Aruba Red Live & Unplugged which sees her flirting with acoustic roots and folk music merged with trademark lyrical content, soulful and passionate, thought-provoking and unique.

Board shorts and bow ties were the theme of a party held at the Gylly Beach Cafe, Falmouth, in aid of the St Austell Brewery Charitable Trust.

The event, which attracted more than 150 people, was held during the World Cup and raised a whopping 750 for the Trust.

Stuart Smith, Sales Development Manager for St Austell Brewery, said: It was a fantastic event and wed like to say a big thank you to everyone at the Gylly, including the manager Mark Agnew and his brilliant staff.

We are hoping to make it an annual event, which will grow bigger and bigger, and raise even more money for this worthwhile cause.

St Austell Brewery re-launched its charitable trust with new vigour at this years Royal Cornwall Show, kicking it off with a 5,000 donation to Cornwall Hospice Care.

We have finally done it! After 4 years of continual hard work and dedication we have improved our green credentials from achieving a silver award 3 years ago until now, for which we have recently received a gold award. This award is a mark of an example of best practice when it comes to everything from how we recycle our paper to how we source the food on your plate to how we compost your scraps.
