St Ives is considered to be the jewel in the crown of Cornwall, if so then Carbis Bay is a treasure waiting to be discovered. The beach is privately owned and maintained by Carbis Bay Hotel so is never overcrowded. Dogs are banned from Easter until October. Among the many delightful walks, the cliff walk to St Ives is not to be missed with spectacular views of the coast all the way to Hayle and Godrevy Lighthouse. Watch the dolphins, enjoy the changing colours of the sea. This is Carbis Bay. This is St Ives Holidays.

For St Ives holidays and touring Cornwall, Carbis Bay is ideal, 15 minutes away from Penzance, 40 minutes from Newquay (which has regular twice daily flights from Stanstead). The single track rail line runs from St Erth (which connects to London) all along the coast to St Ives. Book your restaurant in St Ives for 7.00pm and you can leave the apartment at 6.55pm - no parking problems. So slow down to the Cornish pace, relax and enjoy Cornwall. When you discover the treasure of Carbis Bay, you will want to come back.
