The Fistral Beach Bar has a new name and a new owner. In February 2025 the Boardmasters festival bought it, and it now trades as the Boardmasters Beach Bar. The Voice newspaper reported that it would stay open all year, give the festival a permanent base, and get refreshed interiors.
The location has not moved. It is on Headland Road, on Fistral Beach, with an open terrace looking straight over the sand and the surf. Dogs are welcome. At weekends it runs a silent disco, and during the festival itself it is part of the Fistral site. See the Boardmasters guide for the festival dates.
Inside, the walls are used to tell the story of surfing at Fistral, with archive photographs and classic boards. The bar and kitchen opens from 9am. The Fistral Beach site gives hours of 9am until 11pm in summer and 9am until sunset in winter, but another review site quotes shorter winter hours, so check before a winter evening trip.
The bar can be hired for events, including Christmas parties, by emailing the address on the website. Upstairs in the same building, Fistral Bar and Kitchen is a separate business, and The Stable is a short walk away on the same stretch of beach.
