After the demise of the tin mining industry - relics of which can still be seen today scattered around the countryside - Cornwall turned its attention to its beautiful and spectacular coastline. During the early part of the last century, many artists tried to capture the natural quality of light reflected from the beaches and granite cottages. The fishing industry has also left its reminders. Cornwall's shoreline was once crammed with fishing boats and the beaches heaved under the strain of millions of pilchards, herring and mackerel. St. Ives is unique in its history - still to be seen are the engine houses of its mines; the fishing boats sail in and out of the harbour; the fishermen's granite cottages and tiny iced-fish stores - all vying for position amoungst narrow cobbled streets. Nestling into the meandering coastline of four beaches, St. Ives holds great variety for the visitor; the stunning white soft sand of Portminster, the harbour, Porthwidden and Porthmeor beaches for sunbathing and safe swimming; many varied inns and restaurants; fishing trips and motorboat hire; nightlife; refreshing walks in the rugged countryside on the outskirts of town or just exploring its quaint nooks and crannies. For art lovers there are visits to the Barbara Hepworth Gallery, the Leach Pottery, and 'jewel in the crown', the new Tate Gallery. Now St. Ives has truly everything for every holiday.
