The Island in St Ives, isn't really an island of course. It's a promontory, also known as St Ives Head - a green and rocky outcrop poking out into the sea and marking the western end of St Ives Bay.
St Ives Head is like a mini park and has a lovely walk around the island in all weathers - We've often seen seals from there too. Porthmeor beach faces west and is a famous surfing beach. You can sit in the Tate Gallery's excellent cafe, or in the cafe on the beach, and watch surfers all the year round.
