The town itself is a vibrant hub, home to a rich community of artists and craftspeople who draw inspiration from its dramatic landscapes and maritime climate. Its streets, framed by historic granite buildings, bear witness to centuries of tradition and the indomitable spirit of Cornish culture.

The town square serves as a central hub, from where one can venture into galleries such as the Jackson Foundation Gallery, showcasing contemporary artworks. The historic Plen-an-Gwary, a medieval amphitheatre, stands as a testimony to the town's rich cultural history, occasionally hosting plays and performances even today. Venturing slightly out of the town, you find the evocative remnants of the once booming tin mining industry; the Crowns Engine Houses at Botallack are a must-visit, standing dramatically on the cliff edges and offering a window into the past.
