June 27, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

St. Ives boasts a quartet of golden-sand beaches. Sheltered coves draw swimmers and sun-worshippers, but water-sports aficionados visit St. Ives for great surfing, windsurfing and water-skiing conditions. And on your way there, keep your eyes peeled for a dude with seven wives. You never know when nursery rhymes might come true.

Porthminster Beach

A favorite place for a family outing, this lovely stretch of beach overlooks Godrevy Lighthouse in the distance.

Excellent beach with a weekly (Tuesday) open air cinema across summer, we watched an afternoon showing of The Greatest Showman - thoroughly enjoyed it. Showings sell out quickly so book in advance to avoid disappointment. VIP tickets best, include popcorn, Gin or soft drink and deck chairs at the front. However, seating was provided for standard tickets and you could get pretty near the front if you arrived early.

South West Coast Path - Godrevy Head

This short 0.6 mile walk on the South West Coast Path has great views across St Ives Bay, and out to the lighthouse on Godrevy Island just off shore. Children will love the long beach, as well as the island and the lighthouse and the tales of shipwrecks. A good walk in spring, when the coastal grasslands are full of wildflowers and fulmars nest noisily in the cliffs.

Fantastic site. Lovely staff on the car park who happily showed us how to use the garmin devices for the geocaching and the kids loved it..

Our first escape room experience and we weren’t disappointed. Jimmy, our host, was great and explained all we needed to know and offered us as much support as we needed throughout the 60 mins of our prison break. Great time and we want to visit again for the chocolate escape. Thanks Jimmy- brilliant fun!
