Harbour Beach

St Ives Harbour is a working harbour but as the tide goes out you have a small beach protected by the harbour walls and within the heart of St Ives. St Ives Harbour beach has seasonal dog restrictions not allowing dogs from 1st July to 31st August between 10 am – 6 pm. Although, you do have options as Harbour Beach is sandwiched between two dog-friendly beaches of Bamaluz and Lambeth.

The harbour is a very busy area with restaurants and pubs but also you can hire boats, canoes and paddleboards. The harbour also has boat trips to Seal Island and Godrevy lighthouse.

The beach is in the centre and so you have all the facilities of St Ives including car parks, boat hire, boat trips, amusements, shops, pubs and restaurants. Car parking is bad in St Ives and it is recommended to park and take the train.
