Beach used as toilet in Cornish village blighted by boozy bad behaviour

The operator says the beach club has had no alcohol-related disorder in two seasons as it seeks approval for up to 10 evening events a year.

  • On Wednesday, September 9, Cornwall Council will discuss a licensing application for Baby Bay Beach Club after receiving 12 formal representations opposing the proposal.
  • Minver Highlands Parish Council and local residents oppose the permit, claiming the restaurant will worsen existing antisocial behavior and public urination issues in Polzeath.
  • Porthilly Spirit Distillery Ltd, the operator, reported no police call-outs during two seasons and clarified the venue is a table-service restaurant, not a 'beach bar.'
  • The application proposes normal lunch operations between noon and 6pm with alcohol sales ending at 5:30pm, plus a maximum of 10 late-night events yearly with service ceasing at 10:30pm.
  • Critics argue the nearest public toilets are a 7/9-minute walk away via steep, unlit paths, while the restaurant insists it proactively manages customer behavior with marshals and clear instructions.
