If you're looking for somewhere to soak in the sunshine there's nowhere better than St Ives.
Whether you want surfable waves, subtropical vibes, or a quiet cove to escape the summer crowds, there’s a beach here for it:
🌊 Porthmeor – Surf school central with crashing Atlantic swells
🌴 Carbis Bay – Calm turquoise waters and palm trees
🐾 Porthkidney Sands – Wild, spacious, dog-friendly, and rarely busy
🎨 Porthminster – Right by town, with views to Godrevy and an 18-hole golf course
☕ Porthgwidden – Tucked away with a café and sheltered swimming
🦭 Gwithian – Huge sandy beach near Hayle with seal-spotting potential
⛱️ St Ives Harbour Beach – Sit and watch the boats bob while you eat your fish and chips
Why not have a look at The Firs in Carbis Bay as a lovely place to stay. Easily accessible to all areas mentioned. We are dog friendly too.
Last few remaining weeks of the season available
This beautiful, three-bedroom cottage is a tranquil retreat with off-road parking, and close to the beach, restaurant and pub.
