About Carbis Bay & St Ives |
|||||
|
About a mile along
the coast from St Ives lies the quiet village of Carbis Bay. The village has a beautiful beach popular with families and offers a more sedate and spacious setting
for a holiday with ample parking, shops and amenities. Carbis Bay
affords visitors easy access to St Ives via the quaint three minute train ride. Visitors young and old love the train journey
with its beautiful views out to sea. Alternatively, for those who wish to enjoy the stunning
surroundings at a more sedate pace, a twenty minute stroll along the pretty coastal path from Carbis Bay brings you to Porthminster Beach in St Ives. We recommend following
this fabulous walk with a traditional Cornish Cream Tea! |
St Ives has it all - fabulous beaches
with soft, pale sand and calm turquoise seas, narrow cobbled streets, flower filled courtyards, award winning gardens, and
all the character of a lovely Cornish fishing harbour. The area is famous for its beautiful light which has
drawn many artists to establish themselves in the town. There are many galleries including the famous Tate St Ives. There
is a wide range of restaurants and pubs offering all types of cuisine, especially the wonderful freshly caught seafood and
fabulous just baked, authentic Cornish Pasty. St Ives has a mediterranean ambience and the atmosphere in
the town is a vibrant and colourful combination of traditional fishing harbour and contemporary, youthful surf scene. St Ives
appeals to visitors of all ages.
