Carbis Bay is a peaceful coastal gem just outside St Ives, known for its soft golden sands, calm turquoise waters, and sheltered, family-friendly beach. Tucked beneath lush green cliffs, it feels like a hidden escape while still being easily accessible by train or the coastal path. Ideal for swimming, paddleboarding or simply soaking up the views, Carbis Bay offers a more tranquil alternative to its busier neighbour, with the same postcard-perfect scenery and a handful of stylish cafés and hotels overlooking the sea. Plus, it made headlines as the host of the 47th G7 summit in 2021!
