Silas Cove

Eat, drink, and unwind by the sea

Reopening February this year - A beach bar with sea views and stories to tell

Set above the shores of Portwrinkle, Silas Cove is a laid-back spot to eat, drink, and enjoy the Cornish coast. Named after the local smuggler Silas Finn, it’s a place to pause, take in the view across Whitsand Bay, and share good times with friends over fresh food and drinks.

Sea views worth slowing down for

From Silas Cove you can watch the waves roll into Whitsand Bay, the boats out on the water, and the sun sink below the horizon. It’s the kind of view that makes you want to linger a little longer, drink in hand, with the coast spread out in front of you.

Fresh flavours by the sea

Seafood straight from the coast, wood-fired pizzas, and small plates made for sharing. At Silas Cove, every dish comes with the warmth of the sun and the backdrop of the bay.

Good food, best seat in the house

Nothing tastes better than fresh food enjoyed outdoors. Take a seat in the sun, let the sea air do its thing, and tuck into plates that bring together simple ingredients and bold flavours.

Cornwall on your plate, sea at your feet

Silas Cove is more than a beach bar. It’s a place to taste Cornwall in every dish, sip a drink as the sun dips into Whitsand Bay, and settle in for a cosy evening with friends. Whether you’re here for a lazy lunch or a night by the coast, it’s food, drink, and scenery made to be shared.
