Holidaying in St Ives is all about going to the beach, no matter what time of year. Here at Porthgwidden Beach we have one of the cleanest beaches in the South West. Porthgwidden Beach's bathing water quality has been classified as ‘Excellent' by the Environment Agency...
We aim to recycle as much as possible, and keep the beach and surrounding area as free of litter and anything hazardous to the environment as we can. We encourage our visitors to help us as much as they can by leaving no waste behind by either taking it away or using our bins and recycling bins provided. We are very proud of the natural beauty of our beach.
