Things to do in Cornwall: Porthminster Beach

This crescent of golden sand, framed by the glittering St Ives bay, has glorious views across to Godrevy Lighthouse, inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s famous novel ‘To the Lighthouse’. With the benefit of the mildest climate in the UK along with waving palm trees and translucent waters, there is a definite tropical feel to the place.

Located just a short walk from the centre of St Ives, the award-winning beach at Porthminster is a family favourite for safe swimming, while onshore you can simply relax in a deck chair or try your skill at the mini 18 hole golf course, with its own 19th hole to celebrate at afterwards!
