Originally, St. Day was named for the obscure Saint Day or Dye (better known in Brittany). The community now features a pub, a convenience shop, and a granite church built in the gothic style in 1828. The well-known village of Portreath, which draws tourists from all over the world with its untamed and rugged coastline, is only six miles away. The region is characterised by high cliffs, isolated coves, and sandy, surf-washed beaches, and all around are remnants of the area's historic industrial background. In addition to its secure, protected sandy beach, Portreath has a small fishing harbour, stores, a few pubs, three cafés, and a Chinese takeaway. Visit Truro, a 7-mile drive away cathedral city with cobblestone streets, a shopping mall, a theatre, a museum, and fantastic restaurants, for a fun day out, or drive a few miles along the coast to Gwithian and follow the long stretch of sandy coastline that descends to Hayle and continues on to St Ives. a wonderful vacation spot.
