Tate St Ives, Barbara Hepworth, the Porthmeor and Porthminster beaches, local seafood and a concentration of artists and galleries unlike anywhere else in the UK
A little history
St Ives has been a fishing port since at least the 10th century. The artist colony began in the 1880s when painters came for the extraordinary light, eventually leading to the Tate St Ives opening in 1993
