Our favourite St Ives beaches

We’re so lucky to be close to St Ives, with its selection of beautiful beaches. It sometimes feels like we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding which beach to head down to on a sunny day. It’s not surprising that our guests often ask us to recommend local beaches. It’s like having children: you simply can’t choose a favourite!

 

Cornish creatures: summer wildlife spotting in St Ives

It’s not just humans that have been exploring Cornwall recently: it’s been a great year for animal visitors, too. We’ve been entertained by stories of Wally the Walrus and his jaunt around Cornwall and Scilly, and all wished we’d been at the Minack when a pair of orcas swam by.

Visiting West Cornwall with children

West Cornwall is simply the best place to be a child. We’re speaking from experience here: as well as running a busy family campsite, many of the Polmanter team grew up here, and are now raising their own Cornish kids.
