Days out and about around St Ives Bay...


We all know that St Ives has plenty of amazing things to do and see, but there are also many things in the local area worth checking out whilst self catering in St Ives... 

Godrevy

Looking out from St Ives Harbour casting your gaze along the coastline you will spot the distinctive shape of Godrevy’s lighthouse. Godrevy consists of a beautiful sand dune beach, plenty of rock pools and an awe inspiring coastal walk along North Cliffs where you can catch glimpses of the local seals sunbathing on hidden coves along with an amazing café serving some of the best cooked breakfasts imaginable, we recommend sitting out on the top deck and taking in the views.


Godrevy is only a 15-minute drive from St Ives and is worth a visit and is amongst one of our favourite local spots for lazy afternoon strolls.

Trevaskis Farm

We love Trevaskis Farm, just outside of Hayle and only a 15-minute hop from St Ives. Boasting pick your own fresh fruit and veg, farm park, market shop and deli, not forgetting an amazing family friendly restaurant. 


Trevaskis is a day out at its best in Cornwall, giving a great idea of working life on a farm. Great for all ages to experience, we especially enjoy strawberry picking afternoons topped off by a cream tea in the restaurant. 

Paradise Park

After recently spending a whole day entertaining my niece at Paradise Park, I cannot recommend it enough for a truly enchanting day out. We visited on a slightly overcast Spring day, with high chances of rain which didn’t dampen our spirits as we wandered around the beautiful gardens and visited spectacular species of birds from around the globe. With plenty to see and do, we spent a whole afternoon walking around the grounds, and being enthralled by the live displays including ‘Flight of the Rainbows’ where visitors can feed nectar to parrots.


Our highlight were the flamingos, free roaming around the central area all twinned with beautiful horticulture, a sight I will not forget in a hurry.


These are just a few of our recommendations whilst self-catering in St Ives for perfect days out about around St Ives Bay...
