We recommend you leave your car at the park and ride in Lelant, take a ten minute, scenic, old-fashioned train ride on this beautiful stretch of coastline to St Ives, then a 15-minute stroll through the picturesque town past the harbour and through to Porthgwidden. Porthgwidden does have a long stay carpark just next to it called the Island Car Park.
