The beauty of spring
As winter retreats and the days grow longer, spring breathes new life into the charming seaside town of St Ives. The golden sunshine begins to warm the coastline, while vibrant blooms paint the town with colour, creating a truly picturesque setting. There’s no better time to book your dream escape to the Cornish coast. Whether you’re after family fun or dog-friendly adventures, St Ives offers something for everyone…
St Ives Food & Drink Festival
Set against the stunning backdrop of Porthminster Beach, the St Ives Food & Drink Festival is a must-visit this May. From the 16th to the 18th, enjoy mouthwatering local cuisine, live music, and entertainment for all ages. It’s the perfect way to soak up the sun, sea, and signature flavours of Cornwall.
Coastal Adventures Await
Surrounded by spectacular coastal paths and scenic trails, St Ives is an explorer’s paradise in spring. Enjoy walks framed by blooming wildflowers, crystal-clear waters, and panoramic views of the golden shoreline. With the spring sunshine on your face and the sound of the waves in your ears, these coastal adventures are sure to make lasting memories.
Sunshine, Sunsets & Dog-Friendly Beaches
As the warm weather fills the streets of St Ives, what’s better than having a stroll across the golden beaches with your furry friend? The unbeatable sunsets make evening beach walks an all-time favourite of mine. Bamaluz Beach & Lambeth Walk are both dog-friendly all year round and are within walking distance of our luxury dog-friendly accommodation in St Ives. The Harbour beach, Porthgwidden, Porthminster, Carbis Bay and Porthmeor Beach are all dog-friendly but have some restrictions in place during the warmer months.
