Additional Information

Some additional information about parking in st ives, to cater to all your parking needs

On-street parking
The town centre of St Ives, with its narrow cobbled streets, is not very car friendly. The best time to find on-street parking spaces in or near the town is early on Fridays or Saturdays, during the changeover times for holiday lets. There are only a very limited number of on-street parking spaces in and around St. Ives.
Off-street parking
When considering where to park, it is best to go for off-street parking in St Ives. There are a number of public car parks, which are run by Cornwall Council. Long stay parking in St Ives is available at the train station, at Porthgwidden, at Barnoon near the Tate Gallery, at Park Avenue and at Trenwith. Short stay parking spaces are available at Barnoon, at Smeatons Pier in the harbour, and Sloop near the town beach and the Tate.

St. Ives operates an excellent Park&Ride system during the summer months, incorporating the St Ives branch line railway. The Park&Ride train leaves from the car park at Lelant Saltings and weaves its way around the bay with stops at Carbis Bay and Porthminster. The journey offers breathtaking views of the beaches and sea.
Public transport
St Ives has a train and bus station. Many visitors arrive on the scenic train journey. National Express long-distance coaches travel to and from St. Ives and local buses serve all of Cornwall. During the summer, an open deck double-decker bus takes visitors on a circular route, including St. Ives, Carbis Bay, Lelant, St Erth, Marazion, Penzance, Newlyn, St Buryan, Porthcurno, Land’s End, Sennen, St Just, Pendeen, Morvah, and Zennor.
