Cove Cafe, Hayle Beach, Cornwall Then And Now

A Memory of Hayle.

The Cove Cafe, a simple structure on the steps at Hayle beach, dates back many years to the early 20th Century, and is still amazingly in existence today, the tides and weather have not claimed it. Having had very few owners, one such owner from the 20s to the 30s was a Mr Blewett, who also owned a newsagents in the town. We, the current owners were amazed at this - as we too are Blewetts!

Chatting to our lovely holidaying customers from all over Britain this summer revealed how much a part of their family beach holidays The Cove Cafe really is - one lady in her 60s told us she has photos of herself with her parents as a child, on the beach, with tea trays laden with crockery and fine china, brought down to the Cove from the cafe staff. A true cream tea in style!

The cafe is being given some tlc (February 2015), and we hope to gently and respectfully bring it into the 21st century to be enjoyed by coast walkers and beach lovers for another 100 years - @TheCove_Cafe.
