St Ives (Cornish: Porth Ia) lies north of Penzance and west of Camborne on the coast of the Celtic Sea.
In former times it was commercially dependent on fishing but has become renowned for its number of artists.
The Tate St Ives exhibits work by modern British artists, including work of the St Ives School.
The three storey building lies on the site of an old gas works, overlooking Porthmeor Beach.
The Tate also manages the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden.
The St Ives September Festival, runs annually and is one of the longest running and widest ranging Festivals of the Arts in the UK.
It last 15 days and includes a range of arts from music to poetry, film, talks and books.
St Ives harbour is still a working port where you can watch the local fishermen landing their daily fresh catches of locally caught seafood.
It is very sheltered and a perfect sun-trap in the heart of the town.
Porthmeor beach has fine golden sand and is a wonderful beach for surfing with a surf school. During the summer trained lifeguards ensure the bathing is as safe as possible.
There are restaurant and cafe facilities right on the beach with toilets and beach huts on the terrace behind.
The cottage is lovely.
We love being so near the beach and thank goodness for the parking space!
