All about Carbis Bay
Set on the West Cornwall coast five minutes southeast of St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is a magnet for ramblers, art lovers, and families on holiday. Artists flock here for the quality of light and laid-back vibe, and for generations, the St Ives School and Tate Gallery St Ives have nourished a creative community in the area. Above Carbis Bay Beach, you’ll find the South West Coast Path, which stretches more than 630 miles and runs through two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Dorset and East Devon coasts.
Bird lovers can enjoy spotting waterfowl in the wetlands of the Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve. Carbis Bay also rolls out a full menu of family-friendly attractions, such as outdoor karting tracks, lawn bowling, and escape rooms. Likewise, restaurants abound with fresh seafood and traditional Cornish dishes.
What are the top things to do in Carbis Bay?
Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve
Run by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Hayle Estuary is a biodiverse utopia for migrating birds and wintering wildlife seeking milder conditions. Its estuary, tide pools, and marshland are home to common gulls, waders, and waterfowl, and rarer birds, including teals and wigeons, in the colder months.
Tate St Ives
Overlooking the surfers on Porthmeor Beach, the Tate St Ives art gallery is a short bus ride and a leisurely wander from Carbis Bay. The main collection focuses on 20th-century art, and you’ll also find the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden on-site, home to bronzes the artist placed herself. When you need to refuel, the top-floor cafe boasts commanding views of the town and out to sea.
Trewidden Garden
Twenty minutes from Carbis Bay is one of the 12 Great Gardens of Cornwall, a horticultural haven of azaleas, magnolias, camellias, and one of the largest collections of tree ferns in Europe. Some of the plants in the gardens are believed to be 150 years old.
