When the weather is fine, a cool drink at the coast is the perfect way to chill out – these pubs and bars with a sea (or river) view are some of our favourites.
All situated in Cornwall, including in the Falmouth area, you won’t have to travel far to take in the sea air while taking the tipple of your choice.
We are spoiled for choice for great places to get a drink around here, so this is by no means a definitive list but if you are looking for ideas on where to head as the mercury rises, you can’t go wrong with this lot.

The Old Coastguard
Where: The Parade, Mousehole, Penzance
About: This seaside hotel is situated in the fishing village of Mousehole.
The perfect spot for a drink on a sunny day, it shouldn’t break the bank they are priced for the people who live in the area, not the summer influx of visitors.
The Ferryboat Inn
Where: Helford Passage, Falmouth
About: Set in one of Cornwall's most idyllic locations with picturesque views across Helford Passage.
Located in an unspoilt cove with direct access to the beach it's the perfect location for drinks in the sun.
The Godolphin
Where: West End, Marazion
About: The hotel, restaurant and bar holds a spectacular beachfront location in Marazion, looking out over iconic St Michael's Mount and far out to sea.
It includes the restaurant and bar Shutters for meals, or alternatively Craby's Beach Bar & Terrace for light bites and bigger bites.
An honorable nod to The Fire Engine Inn at the top of the village, also with views over the Mount.
The Pandora Inn
Where: Restronguet Hill, Creek, Falmouth
About: The Pandora Inn is a feast for the eye with flagstone floors, low-beamed ceilings and thatched roof but turning your back on the building and the views are equally appealing, in its spectacular setting on the edge of Restronguet Creek.
If you want to enjoy a cold drink on a hot day, there are few places better for it.
The Watering Hole
Where: 19 St Pirans Road, Perranporth
About: If you really want to get close to the waves during the hot weather, they don't come much closer than this with the Watering Hole being located on the beach itself.
So, grab a cold one, enjoy the sunshine and as the day draws to a close marvel at the breathtaking sunset.
