St Ives · 2 checked & stamped
Sand status, settled. Each beach carries its month ring — moss means go, rosehip means the council says no.
A small sheltered cove tucked behind the Island, the calmest of the St Ives beaches and the one with the beach huts. It falls under the shorter ban, 1 July to 31 August between 10am and 6pm, unlike Porthmeor and Porthminster next door. Early June and late September are quiet and unrestricted.
The north-facing surf beach below the Tate, catching the swell that St Ives' harbour beaches never see. It holds award status and so carries the long restriction, 10am to 6pm from mid-May to the end of September. All four St Ives beaches are restricted in season, which is why the terrace at the beach café matters.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
