Godrevy Island is a tiny, rocky island off Godrevy Point on the north coast of Cornwall, which marks the northern point of St Ives Bay.
The isle lies about 400 yards off the point, beaten by the storms of the Atlantic Ocean. Here stands a lighthouse, the Godrevy Lighthouse, built in 1859 to warn ships off the Stones Reef, which has been a hazard to shipping for centuries.
