With a name meaning ‘the mouth of the river Fal’, Falmouth is a beautiful town on Cornwall’s south coast. In this serene seaside spot, you’ll find the world’s third-largest natural harbour, sandy beaches and cobbled streets. But the town also has a fun, carefree vibe, making it a popular destination for students at both Falmouth University campuses.
Some of Falmouth’s best bits are centred on its coastal location. You’ll find stunning beaches and beauty spots on either side of Falmouth Harbour, providing plenty of spaces to relax and unwind during study breaks. You can enjoy everything from water sports like surfing and kayaking to easy-going activities like beach walks or simply soaking up the sunshine. Cultural highlights include the National Maritime Museum, where you can uncover the local history, and Falmouth Art Gallery, which puts on exhibitions alongside its collection of over 2000 artworks. In the town centre, you’ll also find lots of cute cafes and independent restaurants showcasing all sorts of cuisine, including vegan eats and fresh local seafood.
As well as its quaint beaches, Falmouth is known for its energetic nightlife. The waterfront bars and pubs are just as buzzing in the evening as during the day. Whether you want a quiet drink or party until the early hours, you’ll get your fill in Falmouth. Several spots also offer drink deals and host regular events, including quizzes and club nights for students. And when you fancy some entertainment, head to a show at one of the town’s lively venues for a gig or open mic session.
