A safe, clean beach. St Michaels Mount is a tidal island with its own cobbled causeway, book tickets to the church and castle and explore the magic on foot and enjoy a cream tea on the island. Or hire paddle boards and SUP around!

Busy in the highs of summer but nevertheless worth a visit if you’ve never been.
I’d recommend setting off early, leaving your car, using the Lelant to St Ives regular train service in & out.
A beautiful scenic train ride in itself.
Another top tip : cover your food or eat undercover, as the seagulls are wild down there! And definitely buy fudge!
