With Blue Flag beaches and azure waters, it’s no wonder St Ives is so popular. The town itself is a jumble of sweet cottages shuttered against the sea, vibrant local shops and artists’ studios. Combine that with top-notch accommodation, and you’ve got all the makings of the perfect UK break.
Explore your surroundings
Since becoming a popular destination for modernist artists in the 1950s, painters and enthusiasts alike continue to flock to St Ives for its contemporary galleries and inspiring views. A short walk along Porthmeor Beach and you can’t miss the largest and most striking of these galleries, Tate St Ives. Enter through the iconic rotunda entrance and begin to wander through the exhibitions that celebrate the talent of former residents such as Alfred Wallis and Peter Lanyon.
Meander through the narrow streets full of art and craft shops. Stop for a coffee and cake, or lunch, or return for an evening stroll along the beach path. Well worth a visit is a home and unique garden of artist Dame Barbara Hepworth, one of Britain’s most important 20th-century artists, who made St Ives her home for more than 25 years. You’ll find sculptures as well as paintings. Visit on a bright and sun-filled day if you can, to soak up some rays as you take in the artist’s abstract works.
