St Ives Wins Coast Magazine Awards

St Ives Cornwall - Best Family Holiday Destination
St Ives Cornwall - Best Family Holiday Destination


St Ives has won two categories in the Coast Magazine Awards 2010.

Tate St Ives is runner up in the category "Best loved coastal building." - the winner by the way was Blackpool Tower !

Porthminster Café wins "Best coastal café, pub or restaurant." Apparently the clincher wasn't just the excellent food - "What clinched this year's Award is the Café's concern for sustainability." So if Porthminster also start "celebrating diversity" and buy a rainforest to offset their carbon footprint they'll be a cert. next year as well. Also "Affordability. In the past year, it has started catering for the plebs opened a fish and chip shop beneath the restaurant."

Finally - St Ives has been named "Best family holiday destination - Coast readers' vote". "Since the opening of Tate St Ives in 1993, this seaside town has become the ultimate year-round destination ....... "

    Yay!!!!!! I may have more than a crab sandwich there next time. Has to be one of the best views. AND it's right in front of the Tate.

    Well done, St Ives.

  2. It's nowhere near the Tate! It's the opposite side of town. Think you may be thinking of the Porthmeor Cafe. :-)
