Porthmeor Beach is a beautiful, wide sandy beach located on the North coast of Cornwall, in the town of St Ives. It's a Blue Flag beach, which means it's clean, safe and has good facilities. The beach is popular with surfers, families and sunbathers alike. The sea can be quite rough at times, so it's important to be aware of the conditions before entering the water. There are facilities for hire on the beach, including deckchairs, windbreaks and surfboards.
Porthmeor Beach is a great place to try your hand at surfing, with a surf school located right on the beach. You can also take a dip in the sea, or simply relax on the sand and soak up the sun. If you're visiting with children, there's a play area located right next to the beach. Additionally, there are plenty of rock pools to explore at low tide.
Beyond the beach, visitors can explore the charming town of St Ives. The town is home to the Tate St Ives, a contemporary art museum which offers art workshops for children and adults alike. For those looking to explore the coast, the South West Coast Path offers a beautiful walking route with stunning views of the ocean.
