One of our favourite places on earth. Love the natural way you have captured everybody going about their daily business. Great sharp picture, what camera have you used?

[@CUThereVirtualTravel]

Thank you for watching! I used a dinky little camera called an Osmo Pocket 2. It is so small, but has fantastic stabilisation and picture quality!

[@latvijanin-viktormat]

@@CUThereVirtualTravel wow, did not expect it to be Osmo. But again, Pocket / Osmo 2 are the ones on my shopping list as alternatives to GoPro range.

[@simonkirk1443]

@@CUThereVirtualTravel thanks for letting me know. I have a GoPro but I think your camera tops mine for picture quality

In hospital, just what I needed for recovery big THANK-YOU.

[@CUThereVirtualTravel]

Oh, no! I'm sorry to hear that you are in hospital! I hope you recover well and quickly! Best wishes!

We go down 3 or 4 times year ,we stay in the sloop or the apartments you walk past at 36.40 …The most beautiful place in the word on a sunny day ..And still beautiful on a bad weather day 👍🏼

[@Firebrand55]

I've seen many SI vids of varying quality...I took a few myself, as a SI resident, with the first of the video cameras in the early 1980's .....this is one of the best. There's something gentle about it...no jumping, no jerking and best of all, no inane yammering by the holder....a great job, beautifully done. The quality and stability are superb, a credit to the evolution of the video camera since the 198o's!......10/10 for C U There!

[@CUThereVirtualTravel]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! There is no doubt that the camera I used to film this video has a lot to do with the end product! Also, it was such a lovely day in St Ives - beautiful weather, lots of people out enjoying the sunshine and of course, the town itself is so scenic, it is a joy to be there and film it!

[@Firebrand55]

@@CUThereVirtualTravel The camera I used in 1982 was a cumbersome JVC pistol grip....but wait!.......the pistol grip camera didn't record!.A cable went down to a portable VHS record/player hanging around yer neck! Hard to believe now but that weighty combination was the last word then in video portability!

Great video, this Brit is happy to confirm that our beaches always look this good, we only pretend it rains to keep them from getting too crowded😉

St Ives in July it is very likely to be ☀️ Much more likely than rain.

[@thorhecukvlogs6094]

[@latvijanin-viktormat]

We had honour to visit the place again from sunday (next day) to monday. Absolutely stunning place. Big ups for Carbis Bay!

Thank you for watching and supporting my channel! I'm glad you enjoyed your time in St Ives!

[@YARROWS9]

This place is beautiful. Britain is a lovely country. The isle of Skye is nice to.

[@tracyyy99]

I loved this...It looks like a great place to visit. My only gripe is the cars....GET RID OF THEM...The place would be so much better, and safer. Can't believe the local council allow them in those narrow streets, and driving on the pavement with people milling about.

[@dickyyrrep1383]

It’s a lovely place, there’s just too many others loving it as well. You can’t have it to yourself in high season.

[@willwilders1028]

Thank you! I'm hoping that when you get to visit Cornwall you enjoy your time spent there and that the sun shines on you too!

It's not a resort.

A place that is frequented for holidays or recreation or for a particular purpose. "a seaside resort".

Just booked a holiday there for 4 days in August cant wait man, hopefully the weather is as good as it was fo you! any tips on must do things ?

[@CUThereVirtualTravel]

Hi! Thanks for watching! You could do the walk from St Ives to Carbis Bay. It doesn't take long (around 30 min) and you could always get the train back! Also Hayle is very close and the beach is worth a visit! I hope you have a great time and maybe check out my videos on Hayle Towans (beach) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJfIhmp-grGZrLM and the walk from Carbis Bay to St Ives (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5DZXn-KpMZjr7s).

Hi Georgia Saskia, it was filmed on Saturday 17th July. I think the temperature that day was about 23°C. Perfect beach weather!

Hopefully the heatwave predicted for the second half of August by the Met Office brings good weather if you do!

[@kevinchestney9006]

Don’t take your car to St Ives as can find no parking spaces. Use this park and ride by train from St Erth.

[@CUThereVirtualTravel]

Absolutely! Great advice!

[@e-bike-bys-vykken7422]

yup good idea also tourists need to realise forestreet and infact all the cobbled streets and none cobbled streets in town are roads lol they always seem suprised to see a car behind them when they are in middle of the road lol

[@tracyyy99]

Best advice.
