Carbis Bay - Cornwall

Travel, tourist, hotel, property and community information forCarbis Bay in Cornwall UK.

Carbis Bay, (Cornish: Karrbons), is generally accepted as being part of Lelant; it is located in a romantic wooded gorge, running from the road down to the shore and is a holiday resort. In this spot several good dwelling-houses and hotels were built for visitors to the neighbourhood. The best view of the valley is had from the beach, looking upwards. The bay with its broad sands, is a nice spot for a quiet walk or read, and is more retired than the beach of Porthminster.
The railroad crosses the valley by a stone viaduct, and near at hand is the little Carbis Bay station. The train always stops here, for the convenience of those who like to walk back to town of St Ives, or from that town to Carbis Bay, returning by train.
Hawke's Point is a headland a short distance beyond Carbis Valley. The beauty of its scenery has a great attraction for tourists. Here is a pretty shaded garden and places in which visitors may have refreshments.
