Tips from locals
Turquoise waters, hire paddle boards, golden sand. Can get busy in Summer. Parking expensive, you can walk here from St Ives.
Everyone knows St Ives, it's extremely beautiful but parking is a nightmare in the summer. Why not use the park and ride. The views from the train are breathtaking. For those who like to walk, why not walk one way stop at Carbis Bay for a drink and you will discover more amazing beaches in route. You can always jump on the train for the return journey.
A private beach owned by the swanky Carbis Bay Hotel, but they allow access to the public too. Great for kids as its pretty flat without any steep drop offs, although be prepared to trek uphill back to your car, unless you catch the train there. Recommend the train station car park for £5 daily rate. Lots of people spot dolphins here! You can get drinks and food from the various Carbis Bay Hotel restaurants or bring your own.

We’re lucky that one of the best beaches in the UK happens to be our closest! It’s a 10 minute walk (downhill, usually a bit longer back up the hill!)
