Neighbourhood information
St Ives, located on Cornwall’s picturesque north coast, is one of the UK’s most beloved seaside destinations - renowned for its golden beaches, creative spirit, and sweeping Atlantic views. Waves End is set in the heart of the town, just steps from the historic harbour and within walking distance of six beautiful beaches, including Porthmeor, Porthminster, and Porthgwidden. Each offers its own character - from surfing waves to sheltered coves ideal for paddling and sunbathing.
Art lovers will find themselves in an inspiring haven. Just minutes from the property are the world-famous Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. The town’s rich artistic legacy, dating back to Turner and Hepworth, lives on in its many galleries and studios, tucked along cobbled lanes and stone courtyards.
Families and foodies alike will appreciate the town’s vibrant mix of eateries, ranging from classic Cornish pasty shops to seafood restaurants and beachside cafés. A weekly farmer’s market and several delis ensure plenty of local produce for cooking at home. For younger guests, there are plenty of rock pools to explore, boat trips to Seal Island, and surfing lessons on offer.
For walkers and nature lovers, the South West Coast Path runs right through town, offering breathtaking cliffside walks with views over Godrevy Lighthouse - famously featured in Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse. Alternatively, hop on the scenic branch line from St Erth to St Ives for one of the UK’s most picturesque train journeys.
Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, beach adventure, or artistic inspiration, Waves End’s unbeatable location offers easy access to all that makes St Ives truly special - charming streets, dramatic coastline, and unforgettable sunsets.
