Bamaluz Beach
Bamaluz beach is little more than some granite boulders at high tide but as the tide goes out, a sandy beach is revealed. On a low tide it joins up with the harbour beach and it's possible to walk along the sand on the seaward side of the pier. The name is from the Cornish bal maen luz which roughly translates as "greystone mine".
Bamaluz beach is one of the smallest at St Ives and consequently does't draw in tourists as much as the larger, more obvious beaches.
