What to see

The beach is a favourite destination for surfers as the constant swell coming in from the ocean provides good all year round conditions.

Common seals are a regular sight near the beach and the area is a breeding ground for colonies of seabirds such as guillemots, razorbills and cormorants.

The Sunset Surf beachside café and bar overlooks the beach and is open all year.

Jam Pot Café and Shop, a former 19th century coastguard lookout, is where you can enjoy home cooked snacks and be distracted by the stunningly natural views out over St Ives Bay.

Large areas of rock pools, which are great for kids to explore, some caves too.
