We Need to Talk About THAT View

The clue’s in the name. The Wharfside looks right over Penzance harbour, Mount’s Bay and St Michael’s Mount beyond. Seriously, name one other UK shopping centre that offers views of a magical castle in the sea. (Bet you’re still thinking. 🤔) This is a great spot for a selfie or just to take in the salty sea air.

Come visit us. Enjoy the view. It’s completely free.

Even better, you can use our escalators and roomy lift to glide right into the heart of the shopping centre. We also have free access to electric wheelchairs for disabled visitors, to take you around the Wharfside and further into town.
