With the latest storms battering the St Ives coastline I decided it would be a great time to talk about the beauty that comes with such ferocity. St Ives becomes a dramatic and wild frontier abound with incredible vistas to be viewed from both the safety of your self catering accommodation or along the local coastal foot paths…
Storm Abigail
White horses rushed on Porthmeor Beach on
Friday 13th November, creating some of the most spectacular views of
the year. If you are one for storm chasing this one was not to be missed. The
bright winter skies created a stunning back drop for the thundering, tall waves
that came storming up along the soft sand, along with breath taking winds that
shot up the slipway and along Porthmeor Road and rattled around the inner court
yard of the Sail Lofts.
Storm Kate
The day later we saw Kate with her strong
wintery grey mass of clouds and rain thunder down upon the harbour, and
surrounding coastline washing away any remaining traces of our mellow Autumn. The
harbours’ high tide brought the waves sloshing up in to the streets, and
breaking in to the road, whilst locals dodged the tides to make safe
passageway.
Storm Barney
Hailing from the North and bringing an
uncommon biting chill to the South West, Barney has officially kicked off the
winter for us here in St Ives. With incredible morning views to be seen around
the St Ives bay as the sun breaks over the slumbering town, leaving an eerie
calm in its wake, a stark contrast from Saturday when Barney initially arrived
bringing barreling waves that bore down on Porthgwidden beach, a true force majeure.
Here at the Sail Lofts luxury self catering
apartments in St Ives we recommend visiting St Ives throughout the seasons, as
each one brings its own natural beauty and excitement. However the winter
months are amongst the finest for seeing the local scenery brought to life by
the power of Mother Nature.
