If Newquay is Cornwall's 'surf city' then St Ives is definitely the runner up. Whilst the consistency and choice of waves might not be quite as good the heritage is almost as old. With a surf life saving club established in 1958 it wasn't long before the first Malibu surfboards graced the waters of Porthmeor beach.

Today the surf scene in St Ives is thriving with a new wave of competitive young surfers and more surf shops than you can shake your stick at. Whilst surfing is centred on Porthmeor beach owing to its consistency and exposure there are a number of other spots in and around St Ives such as Foxholes, Hawkes Point and the Breakwater. Further afield are other great surf spots such as Godrevy and Sennen both of which are good summer options.

For those wanting to learn to surf St Ives is ideal. There is a surf school right on the beach at Porthmeor and numerous places to hire surfboards.
