View of Gwithian and Godrevy beaches

Highlight • Viewpoint

The coast path passes tantalising close to the huge St Ives Bay which stretches from here at Godrevy ad Gwithian all the way to St Ives Head in the east.

Tip by

6.18 km

St Ives Bay is a large and crescent-shaped bay that stretches 6 miles (10 km) from the centre of Saint Ives around Godrevy Head to Godrevy Lighthouse. The River Hayle flows into St Ives Bay via the broad tidal estuary, which is a good place for birdwatching as the RSPB runs a reserve nearby.
