Lula Shack

Lula, often called Lula Crab Shack, is a restaurant and bar on Godrevy Towans at Gwithian, on the dunes above the long beach that runs from Hayle to Godrevy lighthouse. It opens every day from 9.30am to 9pm, with breakfast served from 9.30am to 11.15am and the main menu from midday until 8pm, and the team say they stay open later when it is busy. The main menu is built around plates and finger food to share, with cocktails from the bar, and the setting makes it a popular place to watch the sun go down over St Ives Bay. Dogs are welcome, but you need to say so when booking so that a dog friendly table can be set aside; the booking form also asks about allergies, high chairs and disabled access. Tables are booked online. The venue also takes weddings and runs a loyalty scheme for regulars. It suits surfers and beach families during the day and couples booking a sunset table in the evening.
