Gwi, Carbis Bay

Carbis Bay, a beach village just a short drive from St Ives, is most renowned for its magnificent expanse of pristine white sand. The beach feels almost subtropical, with turquoise waters and protected conditions, and is ideal for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Alternatively, why not book a spa day at the boutique hotel that overlooks the beach and has a fantastic patio where you can sip cocktails while basking in the Cornish sunshine?
