Details of Godrevy

Godrevy, Cornwall

The National Trust owns all the coastline from Godrevy to Navax Point. The main beach below the summer car park connects to Gwithian Beach, forming an impressive sweep of unbroken sand (at low tide) around the edge of St Ives bay. Away from the bustle of the beach the coastal grasslands and heathland are rich with wild flowers and provide open access for miles of walking. Seals are a common sight and guillemot, razorbill, fulmar and cormorant breed on the cliffs. There is a popular café at the entrance to Godrevy from the main road. The lighthouse on the island just off Godrevy Point was the inspiration behind Virginia Woolf’s ‘To the Lighthouse’.
