St Ives is very popular, so popular we'd advise going really early or in the evening (we avoid it in the summer months).
Three different beaches, the Tate gallery and some amazing eateries.
Hard to park, so we recommend parking at St Erth Train Station and getting the short train ride in - also worth it for the views across the bay. Alternatively park at Carbis Bay or Lelant and walk across the coastpath in.
