The picturesque, sheltered beach of Porthgwidden might be less famous than the others in St Ives, but offers a unique and tranquil atmosphere to visitors. The beach is peppered with golden sand, while a row of two-storey 1930s beach huts, a cafe and toilets are situated just behind it. It’s then only a couple of meters away from an ample car park. What’s more, the sea by the beach tends to be much calmer than that of Porthmeor, making it an ideal spot to relax. However, beware of the powerful waves, as there is no lifeguard service on duty.
