Conveniently located next to St Ives train station, it also has a car park but be warned, it fills up quickly in the busy season. The harbour and town centre are a short, level walk.<\/p><p>With its calm, clear waters, Porthminster Beach is perfect for swimming and paddleboarding. This St Ives beach has a gentle slope and a sheltered position that make it particularly safe for children.<\/p><p>At extreme low tides, you can walk from the harbour beach around the headland. Historically, this was the beach mainly used by the Victorians who came by train from Penzance and further afield.<\/p><p>There\u2019s a lovely award-winning caf\u00e9 and restaurant right on the beach with a fabulous terrace, serving delicious local seafood and other treats, making it easy to spend the day here without leaving for refreshments.
