St Ives may be small but it\u2019s spectacularly beautiful and you\u2019ll be AMAZED by how much there is to do here. St Ives is not only one of Cornwall\u2019s best surf spots and surrounded by four stunning sandy beaches, it also boasts a great food scene and is the perfect base to explore the rest of Cornwall.<\/p>\n

What’s more, this tiny port with its quaint fishermen\u2019s cottages is one of the best places to see contemporary art outside of London, after it became\u00a0an unlikely capital of Modernist art in the 1950s. Read on for 15 amazing things to do in St Ives.<\/p>\n

1. Learn To Surf On Porthmeor Beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\nSun, sand and surf on Porthmeor Beach\u00a0\u00a0?\u00a0@nickpumphreyphoto<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0nickpumphrey.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The beautiful Porthmeor Beach is one of the best places to surf in Cornwall. If it\u2019s your first time surfing, try St Ives Surf School<\/a> located directly by the beach for fun surfing lessons. If you want something a little more relaxing that will also allow you to appreciate the stunning coastline, give paddle boarding a go.<\/p>\n

2. Go for Sourdough Pizzas &\u00a0<\/strong>Sundowners\u00a0<\/strong>At The West Beach Bakery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"Best pizza in town ?\u00a0?\u00a0@_elliestubbs_<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

There’s only one place to refuel post-surf: the fabulous West Beach Bakery<\/a> on the west end of Porthmeor Beach serves\u00a0local ale and heavenly sourdough pizza \u2013 it\u2019s the best you\u2019ll ever taste. You can eat and drink with the sand between your toes and a great surf crowd for company.<\/p>\n

3. Hike To The Tiny Village Of Zennor<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Beautiful coastal walk from Zennor to St Ives ?\u00a0?\u00a0@rebeccawaites97<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for things to do in St Ives that get you away from the crowds, then don a good pair of hiking boots and head west from St Ives towards Land\u2019s End on the South West Coast Path. Within 10 minutes you\u2019ll be in the middle of nowhere with nothing but the gulls for company. Stunning doesn\u2019t even come close to describing the scenery you\u2019ll find as you hike the 6.5 miles (around 4 hours) to the tiny hamlet of Zennor. Once there, stop for a well-earned pint at the quaint\u00a0Tinners Arms<\/a> and then either jump on the bus (20 minutes) or take a shortcut inland (2 hours) back to St Ives.<\/p>\n

4. Zen Out At The Barbara Hepworth Museum<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Formception in the pretty gardens of Barbara Hepworth’s former home\u00a0?<\/a>\u00a0@alcsrcy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Whilst the Tate may be the best known art gallery in St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Garden<\/a>\u00a0is definitely the prettiest. The small museum is housed in this internationally renowned artist’s former home, and the tranquil garden is full of her sculptures. Take a sketch pad, notebook or just your thoughts to this inspirational place.<\/p>\n

5. Hike Barefoot Around The Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"thingsPorthgwidden Beach on The Island\u00a0?<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>perminder_klair<\/a><\/p>\n

Take the footpath around The Island, an amazing place to view St Ives and its breathtaking coastline from every possible angle. Wander the backstreets in search of local artists who have open studios, and just soak up the incredible views. You can see the sea from almost anywhere in St Ives, and it’s easy to spot dolphins close to the shoreline between May and September.<\/p>\n

6. Tuck Into A Cornish Sweet Treat\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Scones, ice cream… or both?!\u00a0?\u00a0@littlestbeetle<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

A traditional cream tea is one of the obligatory things to do in St Ives \u2013 just make sure you do it like the locals and put the jam on first, followed by the clotted cream! If it\u2019s hot, try some of the locally made ice cream from Moomaid of Zennor<\/a> or Willy Waller\u2019s Ice Cream Factory<\/a>, we love the traditional vanilla ice cream in a salted caramel cone, or clotted cream with strawberries.<\/p>\n

7. Dangle Your Feet Off St Ives Harbour<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"things<\/p>\n

Take a moment on St Ives harbour\u00a0?\u00a0@beccaincornwall<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Walk to the end of Smeaton\u2019s Pier on St Ives harbour, which faces toward Hayle. Sit down and look out. Keep looking, keep sitting. That is all.<\/p>\n

8. Eat A World Famous Burger<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"thingsOmnomnomnomnom\u00a0?\u00a0@davidgriffen<\/a> \/ @blasburgerworks<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

For drool-worthy burgers, you cannot miss a trip to Blas Burgerworks<\/a>. Listed in the Wall Street Journal as one of the top 5 places in Europe to get a burger, even vegetarians are catered for at this eco-friendly hangout. Sit down at communal tables in this tiny spot, and bite into the best burger you will ever taste in your life \u2013 EVER!<\/p>\n

9. Take Part In A Silly Surf Competition For A Good Cause<\/h2>\n

\"thingsSurf + fancy dress = best weekend ever \u00a0?\u00a0\u00a0@nickpumphreyphoto<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0nickpumphrey.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Every summer, the epic\u00a0Swellboard Shoot Out turns St Ives into one big crazy party.\u00a0Part surf competition, part fancy dress extravaganza,\u00a0the three day event also features an open-air beach cinema, a mass paella fest hosted by\u00a0Cohort Hostel<\/a>\u00a0and a parade through the city. And the best bit? All proceeds from the event go towards the great work of charity\u00a0Surfers Against Sewage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Ride One Of The UK’s Most Scenic Rail Routes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"One of the prettiest train journeys in England\u00a0?\u00a0@kernowthunder<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Another amazing thing to do in St Ives is to take the tiny railway line that connects the town with the rest of the rail network. This runs north along the coast and the views are just incredible. Jump on at St Ives for just \u00a33 and enjoy the 10 minute ride to Lelant Saltings, before walking the few miles back to St Ives.<\/p>\n

11. Explore St Ives\u2019s Prettiest Street <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The best bakery in St Ives ?\u00a0?<\/a>@amycraske<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

A trip to St Ives is not complete without a visit to Fore Street. This lovely little street feels wonderfully quaint, with its cobbles and dinky independent shops. You can buy anything from designer clothes to clotted cream fudge, and although it can get a little touristy, it\u2019s so pretty you won\u2019t mind much.<\/p>\n

12. Get Cultured On A Free Tour Of The Tate St Ives<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Views from the Tate St Ives… and the art’s pretty damn good too!\u00a0?\u00a0@sarahcroft__<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The Tate St Ives<\/a> hosts cutting edge art exhibitions dedicated to both international and local artists, and is built on the site of an old gas works. Even if you\u2019re not an arty type, it\u2019s a fascinating way to spend an afternoon with some great views. If you want to brush up your art knowledge, catch one of the free tours which run twice a day from the foyer of the gallery.<\/p>\n

13. Take a dip on Porthminster beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Who knew Britain could look so tropical?!\u00a0?\u00a0@lisamarie_brown<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

This is one of Cornwall\u2019s most famous beaches and it’s an absolute beauty. As you take a dip in the beautiful calm waters or sun yourself on the golden sands, you’ll find it hard to remember this tropic paradise is actually in Britain. This is probably one of the busiest beaches in St Ives, but it’s never unpleasantly so even in high summer. If you’re feeling peckish afterwards head to the award-winning\u00a0Porthminster Beach Caf\u00e9<\/a> for delicious locally roasted coffee or fresh fish and chips served with amazing beach views.<\/p>\n

14. Go Gluten-Free At The Searoom St Ives<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Probably the best cafe in St Ives\u00a0?\u00a0@elizabethallcock<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

There is no bad place to eat in St Ives, from super fresh fish & chips to Cornish pasties on every corner. But one of the best places to eat in St Ives is undoubtedly\u00a0The Searoom St Ives<\/a>.\u00a0This is where the locals come to brunch, and\u00a0almost everything on the menu is available gluten free.<\/p>\n

15. Catch A Sunset Away From The Crowds At Man\u2019s Head<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"thingsSunsets + cold beer<\/em><\/p>\n

Most tourists will hit St Ives\u2019s beaches for the sunset, but really the best place to catch it is Man\u2019s Head \u2013 just a few minutes\u2019 walk along the South West Coast Path towards Land\u2019s End. Take a cold beer, perch on the rock (shaped like a man\u2019s head if you hadn\u2019t guessed) and watch the sun go down just 20 miles from the very end of the UK.<\/p>\n

Where To Stay In St Ives<\/h2>\n

\"things<\/p>\n

The gorgeous design-led Cohort Hostel couldn’t be more central\u00a0?\u00a0<\/em>@kendralee95<\/a><\/p>\n
