We arrived in St Ives to glorious blue sky and a lovely warm temperature. The next morning, after drawing back the curtains, we groaned about the pure grey sky but set off for our day out anyway, hopeful that the blue would return.
Beginning by strolling along the beach, which lead to another beach, and another… they were all quite deserted and the soft sand was lovely. Carlos then found a path, which we followed. This turned out to be The Costal Path, which we followed and saw beautiful beaches, which we then explored. It was such a great find! The weather changed every few minutes and in the end, the blue sky came back! Despite the grey sky for most of the day, the water was still amazingly blue and clear…
We sat for a while and watched this amazing boat, which we imaged was going on a great expedition. The water was also full of paddle boarders.
After clambering down the rocks, we were rewarded with the almost empty beach, and spent a while admiring the beautiful black patterns in the sand.
Then it was back onto the path, with a view of the beach from above and this cute little robin.
These clouds looked threatening but beautifully dramatic. Then within minutes the blue sky was back and brought out the even bluer water with it…
Such a wonderful walk with great views and even better beaches to spend the day on. Have you been to St Ives?

Thanks for the feature! 🙂
You’re welcome! Loved your post 🙂
No, we haven’t been to St. Ives but you do a fantastic job of selling it! The patterns in the sand are so interesting. All your pics are great!
Thank you, Cheryl! We had such a great time there and were stunned by all of the natural beauty that was on offer. The patterns in the sand were so beautiful, and even more beautiful that they were on a deserted beach 😀
I had never even heard of this place and then twice this week I see posts about it! It looks lovely!
I always find that that happens with posts, then I wonder how have I never heard of this amazing place?! It really was a wonderful trip 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Some times grey skies are good because it changes the shade of blue of the ocean.
Definitely! I was reading that Cornwall has some of the most changeable water in the UK, I saw so many different shades!
Coastal paths are always lovely and this one looks like it didn’t disappoint.
It was a great surprise find! 🙂
A great post, with some great photos!
Thanks so much 🙂
You paint such a beautiful picture here! I love when the beach is almost deserted and I get to have it all to myself! So peaceful and relaxing! I’m glad the blue skies finally showed themselves for you!! Also thanks so much for the nomination! I can’t wait to be a Travel Tuesday Co-host !!! 😀
Congrats Lauren 🙂
It really was amazing, when we walked back a few hours later it had got a lot busier but I was really glad to see the beaches when they were so empty, it was beautiful!
What a beautiful place! I would never want to leave!
I felt the same! I’m still dreaming of those clear blue waters 🙂
What beautiful pictures! And how lucky did you end up being with the different weather patterns as backdrops?! Beautiful day…
Thank you, Christy 🙂 We couldn’t have asked for a better day, we were so happy that it didn’t rain!
Your photos are always so lovely! We have a similar coastal walk here in Sydney (Coogee to Bondi), and I love checking it out. Thanks for sharing yours!!!
Thanks Abby! I can only imagine how beautiful the Sydney costal walk is 🙂
What a pretty beach! The black sand patterns are so cool. The water looks really pretty even with the grey skies, and then I couldn’t believe how blue it was when the sun was out! And I LOVE that picture of the fat robin… so cute!!
It was crazy blue! I always think that the sun has to be shining to have blue water… But apparently not! I knoww so cute, that robin really wasn’t shy and came so close to us!
Reblogged this on mapsworldwide blog.
Thank you! 🙂
There is something so incredibly beautiful about stumbling upon an empty beach. Such a peaceful moment!
