Although the exhibition itself is brilliant in the Tate, the view from the top restaurant is AMAZING.

The sun was beating down and 3 friends and myself sat in front of the huge glass wall looking straight out on to the beach/sea.

Words cannot describe it, it felt we were somewhere in the Med, not England.

Well worth a trip!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13847 Porthminster fish and chips takeaway http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8320
Looking out to the bay, on your left is St Ives harbour, while arching round to the right is Hayle Sands and the Godrevy Lighthouse.

The food is delicious: battered fish is light, flaky and golden, chips are crisp yet fluffy in the centre, and all for £4.75. Local fish is used wherever possible.

It's open only during the summer season, but it's worth the wait.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8320
