Porthmeor Beach
St Ives
Porthmeor is a sandy, safe beach popular with surfers and swimmers alike in an ideal location just a stone's throw from the centre of St Ives where you'll find ancient pubs, trendy cafes and lots of art galleries. Porthmeor is one of only beaches in Cornwall that hold the prestigious Blue Flag Award.
The car parks in St Ives fill up very early in main season and the large one at the top of the town would be a bit of a hike to this beach. We recommend parking at St Erth or Lelant Saltings and enjoy the scenic branch line into the heart of St Ives.
Please note: A seasonal dog ban operates on this beach.
