Carbis Bay

Tucked on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall, Carbis Bay is a charming seaside resort and village just 1 mile (1.6 km) southeast of St Ives. Sitting on the western edge of St Ives Bay, its shoreline and coastal setting invite gentle exploration. The South West Coast Path traces the headland above the beach, offering elevated walks and changing seascapes. As a compact village in the TR26 postcode district, Carbis Bay makes an easy base for those seeking the rhythm of the sea and quick access to nearby St Ives. Whether arriving for a day by the water or a longer stay in the South West, the village’s waterside location and coastal path make it a quietly appealing place to linger and take in the Atlantic views.
