Inspiration / Carbis Bay Beach

A pretty seaside resort set among a wooded cliff, with large stretches of golden sand, making it the ideal location for a tranquil rest.

One of eight Cornwall beaches to be awarded a Blue Flag in 2018, its a safe space that’s perfect for swimming and rarely sees any surfers at its calm shores. Just a mile from St Ives, a short walk from the beach will bring you to Porth Kidney sands and a RSPB bird sanctuary.
