Our Great Outdoors

.

The coastline surrounding St Ives is remarkable
for both its rugged beauty and for its historic
 interest. You do not need to walk far in either
 direction to come across spectacular costal
views, wonderful and unusual wildlife and flora
& fauna, which can only be seen in Cornwall. 

For those with more energy there are surfing
 beaches which can change depending on the
 weather from small waves, perfect for the
beginner to waves over ten feet high, best
viewed from the shelter of the beachfront cafes !.

If you would rather take things at a more
leisurely pace there are stables, which can
teach you to ride in the splendour of the
moors and hills or perhaps you could learn
to dive in the Atlantic waters of the bay.

Or for those who wish to enjoy a great game of
golf there are some excellent courses within a
short drive of the town including the
West Cornwall Golf Club at Lelant, which
boasts a 5884 yard par 69 links course with
spectacular views sweeping across St Ives Bay.
