About this business

The Beach Restaurant in St Ives is a relaxed US-style bistro and fish specialist set in a bright, airy former lifeboat station right by the harbour. It boasts stunning panoramic views over the water, creating a welcoming and laid-back atmosphere perfect for locals and visitors alike. The space feels open and inviting, with large windows and a sunny terrace that lets you soak up the Cornish sea air while you eat. It’s a spot where you can unwind whether you’re after a casual lunch, a leisurely dinner, or even a late-night bite.

On the menu, the focus is on top-quality fresh fish and seafood delivered with a Mediterranean twist, alongside some well-crafted dishes of poultry, meat, and game. Highlights include classic fish and chips with a light, crispy panko batter, fresh oysters, and king prawn cocktails, with plenty of options for vegetarians and those wanting something lighter. The blend of local produce with flavours inspired by worldwide cuisine makes it a great choice for groups, couples, or anyone wanting a true taste of Cornwall’s maritime charm with a touch of modern flair. It’s an easy-going place that feels both vibrant and comfortable, ideal for a memorable meal with harbour views.
