Nearby Towns

This sheltered crescent of golden sand near St Ives offers some of Cornwall's most pristine waters, thanks to its Blue Flag status and excellent water quality. The beach's south-facing aspect means it catches sun throughout the day, while the relatively calm conditions make it perfect for families with young children. Victorian-era beach huts dot the shoreline, and the subtropical gardens of the nearby Carbis Bay Hotel provide a lush backdrop to this picture-perfect cove.
