The
Island 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.
Its 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.
Porthgwidden
Beach has a cafe open from Easter - they do great breakfasts overlooking
the beach and is only 30 seconds from home !! Porthminster
has a great beach Cafe too - with great views of St Ives. The Harbour
Beach has The Sloop - fantastic
pub believed to date from about 1312 A.D., the Sloop Inn is situated right
on the harbour front at St Ives with only a cobbled forecourt and road
separating it from the sea.
