This camera looks out over Porthgwidden Beach, a small sandy cove on the edge of St Ives in west Cornwall. It is a quick way to judge whether the sea and sky look good before you head down to the coast. The page also shows the local time and the forecast for the area.

About the place

Porthgwidden sits just east of the St Ives harbour and town centre, a short walk from the old streets and galleries that have made St Ives a well-known art town. The beach is sheltered compared with some Cornish coves, and the surrounding granite headlands give it a distinctive feel. The town is famous for its clear, turquoise water and its long history with painters and fishing.

What the camera covers

The stream is listed as a beach view, so it is best for watching the state of the sea, the tide and the sky over the sand. Conditions change a lot through the day, and mornings and late afternoons often give the softest light. Weather in Cornwall shifts quickly, so a view that looks grey at one moment can clear within an hour.

Practical notes and nearby

Cornwall has a mild, damp climate with cool summers, so late spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable months to visit. St Ives is reached by road or by train to St Erth followed by a short branch journey. Nearby cameras include Carbis Bay, a few kilometres along the coast, and Hayle, which lies just beyond it.
