Porthgwidden Beach at St Ives is the smallest and the most popular for small children, convenient for the town there is also a very good restaurant at the head of the beach. The walk up the hill to “The Island” is where you will find St Nicholas Chapel which dates back to the turn of the century. In the early history of St Ives, this served as a lookout for smugglers.

On a clear day, the views are outstanding in both directions. The photo above shows Porthgwiddden beach and behind it Porthminster beach. At the top of the picture is Carbis Bay beach. The view in this direction extends to Godrevy lighthouse and Trevose Head. In the other direction, is Clodgy Point and the rough cliffs to Zennor - in fact all the way around Lands End on the South West Coast path.
