Great place to park if visiting St Ives, with how large it is you are pretty much guaranteed a parking spot. It comes with a shuttle bus as the walk is about a mile from the beach. Walking is a viable option as it is all downhill. Word of caution it is all uphill on the way back (like really uphill). With a rucksack full of beach stuff, bags of souvenirs, whilst an almost 3 year old is on your shoulders this ascent is not for the faint hearted 🥲.
