Carbis Bay
A Blue Flag beach within St Ives Bay, with emerald-green water. The 2021 G7 summit was held here.
Carbis Bay is a gently sloping beach facing north, with small waves and clear water, suited to swimming and kayaking. The St Ives branch railway has a station here, just a few minutes by train from St Ives, or about 30 minutes on foot along the coast path. The resort hotel beside the beach became well known for hosting the 2021 G7 summit. Parking is limited in peak season, so taking the train is recommended.
