This classic Cornish resort perches above a dramatic sweep of sand, with spectacular views over the Atlantic. Located a short and scenic coastal walk from the pretty fishing resort of St.Ives and a stone’s throw from a stunning white sandy beach, it ensures Carbis Bay holiday cottages in Cornwall are hard to beat for a relaxing break by the sea. With its crystal-clear water and stylish waterfront bars, the award-winning beach is undoubtedly the most significant benefit for self-catering holidays in Carbis Bay. Thanks to its calm waters, sheltered from the power of the Atlantic, it is also a glorious swimming spot. Sunbathing, canoeing, paddle-boarding and sandcastle-building are all popular.

The village of Carbis Bay is easily explored by foot. Various independent businesses line the attractive streets in the heart of the community, including cosy pubs, modern restaurants and art galleries. There’s some striking historical architecture, too. Look out for St Anta and All Saints Church, known for its peal of ten bells, and the 50ft Steeple, an imposing monument to St Ives’ 18th-century mayor.

A self-catering cottage in Carbis Bay is an excellent choice if you’re seeking to combine a beach holiday with days exploring the rugged coast of North Cornwall. Heading east and west from the beach, the Southwest Coast Path is most breathtaking, with towering cliffs, secluded coves and the chance to spot passing dolphins and basking sharks. A little over a mile away, the celebrated town of St Ives can be reached by foot or train. With its beautiful beaches, thriving art scene and colourfully painted houses overlooking a historic harbour, St Ives is a lovely place for a day of wandering. The maze of narrow lanes in the town centre is scattered with small, independent galleries where local artists capture the unique light of this enchanting region. The famous Tate, Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, and Bernard Leach Pottery and Museum are also must-sees.
