Join me as I explore St Ives, Cornwall. This quintessentially British town is Voted year on year as the UK's best Seaside Town. This sleepy Cornish fishing town of only 10,000 permanent residents is flooded every year by around 1,000,000 Tourists, putting extreme pressure on the local community and infrastructure. Another crisis facing the people of St Ives is the Second Home Crisis that is ongoing in Cornwall, raising House Prices and the cost of House Rentals to unprecedented levels leaving many locals within St Ives without the ability to purchase or even live in the town that they grew up in further heightening tensions between the Local community and the Tourists. As I wondered the cobbled streets of St Ives, it was obvious to me why this resort is renowned as one of the Best Seaside Towns in the UK.

St Ives and Cornwall as a whole is by far the most popular holiday/vacation destination for British tourists, with over 1 million tourists every year being drawn in by the beautiful white sandy beaches, the crystal clear blue Atlantic Ocean and the Holiday Vibes, its easy to see why St Ives is voted annually as the Best Seaside Resort in the UK.
