With its turquoise seas and sheltered circumstances, the beach has a subtropical atmosphere and is ideal for a traditional day at the beach. If sunbathing is not your thing, the beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, where you can rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and take to the sea instead. Or, why not indulge in a day at the spa at the boutique hotel that overlooks the beach and has a beautiful patio where cocktails may be sipped in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay features a few local stores and restaurants, as well as a fish-and-chip takeout and a railroad spur.
