Having trouble figuring out what vacation place you should choose? St Ives is a great place to spend an amazing holiday time with your family or friends. This popular destination place for tourists is famous for its beaches. It’s mainly a place for people who enjoy spending their time lying on the beach and participating in various water sport activities.

There are two main beaches you will find in St Ives – Portwrinkle Beach and Seaston Beach. Despite being not so far away from each other, these beaches are considered to be completely different and attract different kinds of people. If you enjoy sandy and shingle beaches, you’ll definitely want to go to Portwrinkle Beach. This is the most famous place for surfers, mostly for experienced ones though. If you know how to surf, I definitely suggest you stop by at Portwrinkle Beach and meet a lot of people with common interests. It is always great and fun to meet some locals and other tourists!
If you are on a vacation with your family, a beach full of surfers and young people might not be your best choice. If you want to enjoy peaceful reunion with your family by organizing a family picnic on the beach, then you should head to Seaton Beach. Since St Ives cottages usually include a fully equipped kitchen, you can save some money and prepare food yourself. If you do not mind spending some extra cash, there are a lot of cafes and restaurants placed along the beach line. Usually there are a lot of parking spaces available, so you won’t have to worry about finding a spot to place your car at. Salton Beach allows pet, so if you have one, you will not have to leave your member at your holiday cottage.
You might also be lucky to get in time for some boat trips to the sea. You will need to go to Penzance, since that is the only place where you can rent a boat. Prices are decent and I definitely suggest you hiring a boat, since there are so many beautiful and stunning sea creatures you might encounter while on your trip. If you’re lucky you might get a chance to see dolphins, seals, sharks and many others. Make sure you bring that bottle of your favorite wine to fully enjoy the relaxation sea offers you and don’t forget to bring ice, as the climate there is pretty hot.
In order to gain maximum pleasure from your holiday, you should consider renting out a holiday cottage, especially if you’re going to travel with your friends. St Ives cottages usually include all modern amenities you need and if you have rented a holiday cottage before, you know what an awesome experience it is.
