Falmouth, a seaside town on Cornwall's southern coast, has been named Britain's friendliest coastal escape and one of the UK's best places to live. Known for its warm welcome and vibrant character, it offers white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and stunning coastal walks.
TimeOut recently ranked Falmouth as Cornwall's 'coolest town', placing it ninth in the top 15 UK destinations. Travel writer Fiona Whitty visited last year and highlighted the town's ocean-centric lifestyle, including coasteering adventures with Elemental UK on Swanpool Beach.
Visitors can enjoy luxurious stays at St Michael's Resort, with seafront views of Gyllyngvase Beach. The resort's Liner building offers self-catering apartments with access to hotel facilities. Dining highlights include INDIdog, run by Simon and Vanessa Clark, where head chef Alfie Hazlitt serves local seafood like langoustine brushed with garlic butter and scallops.
Falmouth also boasts artisan bakeries and a dynamic food scene, with fresh produce and seafood caught locally. The town's easy-going atmosphere and top-notch beaches make it a beloved retreat for families and travelers alike.
