About St Ives Cornwall.

Located in the west of Cornwall, St Ives is a centuries old fishing town. Now more famous as a destination for tourists, St Ives is a great place to visit.
With its four main beaches Porthmeor, Porthgwidden, Porthminster and The Harbour Beach you are guaranteed a spot to soak up some sun or take a dip. When you are done on the beach just head into the town where you will find the small cobbled streets easy to while away a few hours shopping or looking in the many art galleries.

Tate gallery St Ives was opened to the public in 1993 and is a must for art lovers, The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden is also part of Tate St Ives and is well worth a visit for people who enjoy sculpture.
