When staying in our beautiful self catering apartments you are absolutely spoilt for choice with some of the most breathtaking beaches in the country. There’s something for everyone, with surfing coves, dog walking spots, and family friendly beaches safe for children. Why not make the most of your holiday by taking in the best beaches we have to offer? Here’s part one of our guide to the St Ives beaches.
Just a stones throw away from The Sail
Lofts you will find Porthmeor, one of Cornwall’s most beautiful beaches. This
Atlantic facing beach is a surfers paradise. It’s not particularly sheltered on
a windy day, so make use of the Sail Loft’s wind breaks. It has all the
facilities you could need with the Porthmeor Beach Café serving beautiful food
to eat in or takeaway. If you’re interested in dabbling in some water sports
Porthmeor also boasts the St Ives Surf School which offers lessons, board hire,
kayaking and coasteering.
