Location: North Coast - St. Ives

Smeatons Pier and Town beach

Walking west from the excellent Porthminster Beach, Town beach has golden sand and is sheltered by Smeaton's Pier. It can become quite busy due to its proximity to the town and is frequently patrolled by dive-bombing seagulls after a quick meal from unsuspecting tourists. There is plenty of accommodation in the town to suit all pockets and tastes and several other beaches including Porthminster Beach, Porthgwidden Beach and the surfers favourite at Porthmeor. The recently opened Tate St. Ives is nearby and several other small art galleries offer another option. Check out more information on the area by clicking the following hyperlink St. Ives (Porth Ia).
