About this business

Fern Pit Café & Ferry is a charming, family-run spot perched above the Gannel Estuary in Newquay, Cornwall. It’s got that old-school seaside magic, with a café serving up hearty breakfasts, homemade cakes, and the freshest crab sandwiches you’ll ever taste—caught right from their own boats. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, with a sun-soaked terrace that’s perfect for watching boats drift by and soaking up the salty sea air.

One of the real treats here is the little ferry that chugs across the river, giving you a unique way to reach the golden sands of Crantock Beach. The views are nothing short of spectacular, stretching from lush estuary banks to the wild Atlantic beyond. Whether you’re popping in for a cream tea or hopping on the ferry for a mini adventure, Fern Pit Café & Ferry is all about simple pleasures, friendly faces, and a slice of Cornish life you’ll want to come back to again and again.
