THE World Cup is dominating England this summer, so why not up your footie game and swap the pub garden for the beach when England plays?
This beautiful spot in Cornwall is letting footie fans watch matches right on the beach with plenty of drinks on hand, from beer jugs to cocktail pitchers.
Shoreside on Carlyon Bay near St Austell is a coastal hangout with street-food pop ups, bars, live music and now, World Cup screenings.
On Instagram, Shoreside said: “Cornwall’s biggest World Cup Fan Zone & the best spot to watch the World Cup this Summer!
“With live pre-match entertainment, 4 dedicated bars, and a host of street food just a throw-in away, Shoreside is your definitive home for the World Cup.”
It will show “every England match” and other selected games on the big screen which is under a sheltered marquee so it won’t matter if it’s raining.
It adds “entry is free & tables are first come first served”.
For the first England game tomorrow there’s a live DJ to get everyone in the spirit before kick-off at 9PM.
From the four bars, visitors can order beer jugs, cocktail pitchers and enjoy snacks like chicken wings and burgers.
One Hidden Gems website described Shoreside as a “sleek beach shack that looks like it could have been plucked from California.”
For those who aren’t football fans, there’s plenty of other things to do and watch over summer at Shoreside.
Every Friday night, it hosts a line-up of live rock bands which take to the stage.
There are also silent discos, karaoke evenings, and quiz nights – all of which are completely free.
It’s not just Shoreside that has set up on Carlyon Bay, there are plenty of other food stops open throughout the day.
The Beach Cafe is open year-round serving soft drinks, coffee, tea and cakes.
Frooth offers smoothie bowls and matcha, Jasper’s Kitchen makes fresh stone baked pizzas.
When it’s really hot, Callestick Farm is the place to grab an ice cream with plenty of flavours from clotted cream vanilla to salted caramel.
There’s also OGY1 Pasty Shop, Crinnis Crib Hut, Herd, Stevie G’s Doghouse, Fry Buoys and a souvenir shop.
Carlyon Bay itself is two-miles long which visitors have called ‘beautiful’ and ‘unspoilt’.
It’s a popular spot for swimmers and lovers of watersports.
You can hire out wave runners, standup paddleboards, jet skis and kayaks and get out onto the waves.
Back on the sand, there’s also weekly sunrise yoga on Wednesdays and beach yoga every Saturday.
