Iconic Cornwall town offering pretty much everything for a short break or longer holiday: great food, drink, beaches, sea, exceptional light, coastal walking and culture.

Bars, pubs and restaurants are concentrated around St Ives Harbour & Beach and Porthmeor Beach. Other beaches include Porthminster Beach and a little further away, around St Ives Bay, are Carbis Bay Beach, Hayle Beach and Gwithian Beach.

The town has been attracting artists for decades, most noticeably Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson, and this is one of the reasons why Tate St Ives was opened here in the 1990s.

The South West Coast Path runs through St Ives heading south along the extraordinary Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site on its way to Sennen Cove Beach and Land's End. To the north, the path skirts St Ives Bay, said to be one of the most beautiful in the world, to Godrevy Beach, Point and Island and beyond. When we were there in Spring there were plenty of seals sunbathing in the secluded sandy coves.

St Ives Chapel of St Nicholas offers exceptional views across Porthmeor Beach and back towards St Ives Harbour & Beach
