"Porthminster Beach image by John Stratford licensed under CC2.0. What’s to love: So many of St Ives’ beaches could be described as picturesque, but Porthminster should probably take the crown, thanks to its white sands, crystal blue waters, palm trees and view of Godrevy Lighthouse. The mild climate, calm waters, selection of great facilities, and proximity to St Ives town centre make it an extremely popular beach, particularly with families."

"Retaining the 1930's feel, the beach has a putting green and chalets and is well protected by the town and piers. The beach has cafes at each end and boasts one of St Ives' most popular restaurants where you can enjoy a fine meal overlooking the beach. Porthminster Beach has been awarded a Blue Flag and Seaside Award for 2018."

"Porthminster Beach is slightly further away from the centre of St Ives and is right by the railway station. From St Ives harbour, you can easily see the colourful beach huts on Porthminster Beach. That’s because it’s directly opposite the harbour!"

"Gyllyngvase Beach is just a ten-minute stroll along the seafront and is the longest stretch of sand in Falmouth.
