SITUATION Perched above the beautiful Porthminster Beach, Gwel an Mor enjoys an enviable coastal setting. Carbis Bay Beach and St Ives are within easy reach, and when the tide is out, you can walk around the headland to the wide, open sands of Porthkidney Beach. The surrounding coastline is famed for its variety of beaches, each with its own distinct appeal. Porthmeor Beach, set beside the renowned Tate St Ives, faces the Atlantic and is popular with surfers, while the calmer waters of St Ives Bay attract families and often offer sightings of dolphins and seals. The town itself is full of character, with winding cobbled streets, traditional cottages, and a lively mix of independent shops, galleries and places to eat. The picturesque harbour remains a working hub for local fishing boats and even has its own sandy beach.
The area offers plenty to enjoy outdoors, from water sports and coastal walks to golf, with West Cornwall Golf Club overlooking the Hayle Estuary less than a mile away.
Transport links are convenient, with a nearby branch line connecting Carbis Bay and St Ives to the main London to Penzance railway at St Erth, making travel to and from the area straightforward.
