Godrevy Beach

Godrevy Beach is a sandy cove that joins with Gwithian Beach at low tide to create one immense, golden crescent.

Boasting prime positioning within St Ives Bay, the beach has spectacular views right out to St Ives one way and to Godrevy Lighthouse the other.

There's plenty to do for everyone at Godrevy. On hot days, laze about on the beach while the sun bathes you from overhead and the kids play in the sand, or take a relaxing dip in the ocean,. When the tide's out, go out and explore the rock pools in search of marine stragglers waiting for the next wave out. At the same time keep an eye out for the seals who love to keep an eye on you from a safe distance!

Take a stroll along the cliffs beyond Godrevy, part of the Godrevy to Portreath Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. On the headland you can gaze out at Godrevy Island, the inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s novel 'To The Lighthouse'. Follow the South West Coast Path east, looking down into Mutton Cove where the seals mass, and eventually you'll find yourself at Hell's Mouth, where dramatic cliffs drop down 300 feet into the sea.
