Overlooked
by the St Ives Tate Gallery, Porthmeor
Beach
offers waves that are suitable for beginners to intermediate.
Porthmeor
Beach in St Ives
Porthmeor beach faces a n/nw direction so it is fairly sheltered
from west or south west swells.
During a South Westerly wind it blows cross-offshore making it a
useful spot when most of the North coast is blown out. Works best
from low - mid tide. Gets very crowded in the Summer months.
