"If you love contemporary modern art, you must visit Anima-Mundi. Located near The Guildhall on Street-an-Pol in St Ives, Anima-Mundi represents artists such a Sax impey, Steve Goddard and Joy Woldenden Brown."
"It is a collective of seven artists, each producing beautiful but affordable art. It is located right on the harbour, overlooking the beach."
"Listed by the Wall Street Journal as one of ‘Europe’s Best Burgers’, paying a visit to Blas Burgerworks is an absolute must. Slightly out of sight from the hustle bustle of the harbour, you will find Blas Burgerworks tucked away along the Warren. It is a hugely popular restaurant, and to maximise the use of their space they have long shared tables for dining, truly making you feel like a part of the Blas family."
"Blas Burgerworks serve the best burgers in town and according to the Wall Street Journal one of the best in Europe!. For large parties, best to book in advance!. Blas Burgerworks are just next door to us."
"Imagine a traditional stone building in the higgledy-piggledy tourist core of St Ives, but with the interior decked out like an informal surf shack: scuffed ..."
"Award-winning Falmouth Art Gallery is one of the leading galleries in the South West. Family friendly with free admission, it has changing displays of some of the best of British art and a shop with affordable gifts from Cornwall's leading ceramicists, printmakers and jewellers.

"The view is beyond gorgeous and the coffee is nice and strong. They don’t do the BIGGEST coffees (I would like them to be maybe double the size), but the combination of taste and setting still makes this a great place to have a coffee. I love to sit outside on a sunny day on the terrace."
"Porthmeor Beach Café is directly opposite the buzzy Tate Gallery. A lively café overlooking Porthmeor Beach, it’s the perfect vantage point for watching the surf. The eclectic menu is designed to be shared – order a bunch of small plates, sit back and enjoy the view."
"It may be obvious, but for us, some of the best ways to enjoy the view of the sea is to be as close as possible!. Porthmeor Beach Café ticks that box. Perched on the edge of the shore, Porthmeor Beach Café truly offers some of the most magical views."
