St Ives is one of the UK's most sought after holiday destinations and has five golden sandy beaches including Carbis Bay which is a large sheltered beach with golden soft sand and clear Atlantic waters. You can walk along the picturesque coastal path from Carbis Bay into St Ives in 20 minutes in one direction or the villages, beaches, dunes and golf course of Lelant in the other. There is also direct access to the St Ives branch railway line so that the car may never be required. Historic St Ives is renowned for its cosmopolitan mix of restaurants, cafes, art galleries and beautiful scenery. Whether you are simply looking for a week on one of the many beaches or an energetic mix of surfing, golf, walking or diving, there is something here for you. Further afield, Penzance, St Michael's Mount, Lands End, Sennen Cove (surfing), Padstow (cooking courses with Rick Stein), Newquay (indoor water world) and St Austell (Eden Project) are all within very easy reach either by car or train.
