And just a short walk from the centre of St Ives, where you&#8217;ll find ancient pubs, trendy cafes and art galleries the town is famous for. Porthmeor is a sandy, safe beach. It&#8217;s busy in summer with families who enjoy the easy access, and in winter, the surf brigade piles in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fade-in\" data-delay=\"0.5s\">Porthmeor has also won the prestigious Blue Flag Award 2024, recognising water quality, safety, environmental management and education. Porthmeor is a wonderful family beach and has all the facilities you need, including a charming beachside caf\u00e9, a surf school and a seasonal lifeguard service.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"animation-path animation-path--static animation-path--top-right\" width=\"622\" height=\"378\" viewBox=\"0 0 622
