Nestled between St Ives and Lelant, it offers stunning coastal scenery and forms part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is best known for its sheltered, sandy beach with calm turquoise waters-ideal for swimming and paddleboarding-and a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere. Carbis Bay features local shops, cafes, and a train station on the scenic St Ives Bay Line. The area gained international attention when it hosted world leaders during the G7 Summit in 2021 at the Carbis Bay Hotel. Carbis Bay also serves as a gateway to the South West Coast Path, providing spectacular cliff-top walks and easy access to nearby attractions like St Ives, the Tate Gallery, Zennor, and Land’s End. With its quiet charm, natural beauty, and excellent location, Carbis Bay is a favoured destination for walkers and those seeking a peaceful coastal retreat.
