The Beaches

St ives beaches are the best

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.

Golden fine sands and rock pools galore!

St Ives town is surrounded by beaches, with a choice of six it’s fair to say you won’t be disappointed.  From the tropical feel of Porthminster, to the all day sunbathing at Porthgwidden and the hustle and bustle of harbour beach, surf lessons are available at Porthmeor for the little, or big kids!  Lambeth Walk is perfect for the dog lovers and Bamaluz is one that often goes unnoticed with its elusive cove and rugged surroundings.

And as the sun goes down, you’ll be treated to amazing sunsets.
