What there is to do.

Porthmeor is a surf beach sheltered by two headlands, with rock pools at its western end. Tate St Ives sits on the same sand; the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Bernard Leach Pottery are a few minutes' walk. The Island — the headland between Porthmeor and Porthgwidden — is circled by a footpath, and one of the best places in Cornwall for wildflowers, seabirds, seals and dolphins.
