While technically not a beach, St Ives Harbour offers a charming waterfront experience with its working fishing boats, waterside cafes, and historic quays. The harbor's sheltered waters provide safe conditions for various water sports, from kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding, while the surrounding narrow streets house galleries, craft shops, and traditional Cornish pubs. The harbor area serves as the perfect starting point for exploring St Ives' four main beaches, each just a short walk away.
