On through to the spacious open plan living space, where the large Bay windows perfectly frame the stunning turquoise vista, across to Godrevy Lighthouse and beyond, a great social space to gather everyone for a family meal to chat about the day ahead, or perhaps enjoy a board game together to keep the younger members of the family happy! The kitchen has everything you need for cook up a feast, but of course being so close to the eateries of Carbis Bay, you can choose to treat yourselves to a meal out at Walter's On The Beach, The Thirsty Gannet or La Casita, all of which are nearby.

The apartment benefits from a communal terrace area with an uninterrupted sea views, and within just a few minutes, you can be strolling along the golden sands of Carbis Bay Beach, or a little further along the coastpath, you'll find the sights and sounds of the bustling harbour town of St Ives. If you don't fancy putting on your walking shoes, hop on the local branch line which can be found within a 5 min walk of the property, where a short scenic train ride, will take you into St Ives. However should you wish to explore further afield, why not head out by car along the North or South coast, knowing you have a designated parking space to return home to with ease.

Holidays in Carbis Bay

If you’re looking for a holiday away from the hustle and bustle of St Ives, then consider Carbis Bay, offering a quieter location for guests. Enjoy outstanding views, relaxing on the golden sandy beach and walking the coastal path, which is perhaps the most beautiful stretch in the county.

Choose a holiday in Carbis Bay and you’ll be spoilt by endless views and a sweeping coastline. Spend your days relaxing on the beach, or walk the coastal path into St Ives. Located between Hayle and St Ives, you’ll be spoilt for places to visit, from endless golden beaches, to Cornish cafes and family attractions.

Top tip

Take a ride on the St Ives branch line, one the most picturesque train journeys in Britain!

Carbis Bay beach

A holiday in Carbis Bay means you’ll have one of the most beautiful beaches just a short walk away from your holiday cottage. With crystal-clear turquoise waters, enjoy swimming and other watersports, with kayaks and paddleboards available to hire from the watersports centre at the beach. You’ll also be in close proximity to the golden sandy beaches at Lelant and Hayle and the popular beaches in St Ives; you could try a different beach every day of the week!

Walks in Carbis Bay

Leave the car at home and take the 20 minute walk into St Ives, enjoying the views along the way. This gentle walk is a must at least once during your stay.

For nature lovers, the Steeple Woods Nature Reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife and plants. Relax and explore the forty acre space which overlooks St Ives.

For the more adventurous soul, the St Michael’s Way is a 12.5 mile trek starting at nearby Lelant, and finishing up at the stunning St Michael’s Mount in Marazion. If the walk back doesn’t seem too appealing, you can always ride the open-top bus all the way back!
