Description
One of north Cornwall's most popular holiday destinations, a classic view of St Ives, harbour beach and Smeaton's Pier..
The town of St Ives has grown around its picturesque harbour since it was first settled in the 6th century. Once one of the most important pilchard landing ports in Cornwall the harbour would have been crammed full of fishing boats and the wharf side bustling with fish wives and traders. These days the harbour is still thriving and the quayside as busy as ever but fishing is no longer the main industry here. Despite the often overwhelming numbers of visitors St Ives harbour still manages to retain much of its charm and there is still a small fishing fleet. In addition there is much of historic interest to complement the beautiful views of the town and coastline beyond.
