About St Ives

St Ives is a small harbour town on the rugged north coast of Cornwall in south-west England. It grew from fishing and pilchard trade and is known today for its granite harbour, narrow streets, and a strong community of artists drawn by the clear light. The bay is framed by headlands and fine sand, and the surrounding landscape is a mix of cliffs, moorland and sheltered coves that reflects the Atlantic weather moving in from the west.

What the camera shows

The stream is tied to a beach and coastal category, so the view is likely to center on the bay, the water and the changing surf. Conditions tend to be most worth watching in the morning when the light is clear, and at high tide when waves reach the sand. Cloud, haze and rain can change the scene quickly, so check the live weather block on the page before you rely on the picture.

Visiting and nearby views

Cornwall has a mild, maritime climate with cool summers and wet, windy winters, so late spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable months for walking. St Ives is compact and easy to explore on foot, and the town has its own harbour cameras. Use the nearby camera list on this page to compare the quay, the harbour and the town streets.
