St Ives

St Ives is described as the best of all the Cornish seaside resorts and from what weve seen it is. The town is on a peninsula with a surfing beach on one side, and the main town and bathing beaches on the other.

We stayed in Ayr Camping which was very good, although a little expensive, and has the best toilet blocks we have seen. It also has a fantastic view over St Ives so the money is well spent.

Unfortunately, the weather in St Ives was the same as the rest of Cornwall – cold, wet and windy :-( We walked from our campsite down to the coastal path, along the beaches and around the peninsula – a great walk, spoiled by the weather.

We explored some, but not all of St Ives, and chuckled at those on the beaches making sandcastles in full wet weather gear and wellies ;-)
