Sams at Par Market, in a replica American Diner. Good for kids, Burgers and St Austell Bay mussles (available at all Sams). Par Market is more or less St Austell's equivalent of a souk!

Good bar food and a restaurant overlooking Charlestown Harbour, and from the terrace, out to sea. Try the Jambalya if you like spicy, ricey seafood.

Right on the beach, sand in your toes, on a veranda, or indoors if you like. Great burgers and BBQ-style chicken, fish, creative salads and chips, full choice bar. Busy in the season, and a big campsite behind it, but great view and good for kids. Open late.

Parks & Nature
Not really a park, but an amazing regeneration of what was originally a huge china clay pit, now an educational, sustainable, environmental, experience. With tropical and Mediterranean biomes (and added high wire and bunjee adrenalin thrills if needed). Concerts with top names in the summer, and ice rink in the winter.

Sightseeing
Typical old Cornish fishing village. Quaint streets. Restaurants, pubs, individual shops. Busy in the summer.
Also worth mentioning is the Cornwall Coastal Path which claims to be the longest public footpath in the world (from near Plymouth to Minehead). Whatever, it's lovely almost anywhere you join it.

Shopping
Excellent local produce, abundant fruit and vegetables (feels like being in France), local fish caught in the bay with their own boat, and other Cornish produce. Well worth a stop if you're heading to Fowey or Polkerris. Or even if you're not.
