Following WW II, the small fishing town of St Ives was transformed into a vibrant, influential art colony of painters, sculptors and potters. The St Ives School of Painting refers to the artists who based themselves in St Ives during the early to mid 20th century. Most notable are Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth – whose work you can see in Tate St Ives.

The Beaches

Whether you want to relax on the beach, surf in the sea or take a walk across the sand with your dog, you will be spoilt for choice. The blue flag beaches are some of the best in the country for surfing or sunbathing.

Visit the Seals

Often seen from the coastline, boat trips are available to Seal Island from the harbour, which is also a great way to see St Ives from a different perspective. The trips operate throughout the day during high season, from any of the operators in the harbour.
