A short walk down Boskerris Road brings you to Carbis Bay Beach which has been awarded Blue Flag status.On a sunny day, azure waters, golden sand and patrolling life guards (at peak times) provide perfect conditions for swimming, paddle-boarding or kayaking.The beach provides something for all the family. The South West Coast path connects the beach to Lelant and Hayle in one direction and St Ives in the other.Wildlife enthusiasts may spot seals, dolphins and teeming birdlife on the clifftop paths, and the wildflowers are a sight to behold.The bustling fishing village of St Ives, internationally renowned for its art scene, is only a 30-minute walk away along a picturesque path that criss-crosses the railway.Those with tired legs can always hop on the St Ives branch-line for the 2-minute train ride back to base and enjoy one of the most scenic rail journeys in the country. In his celebrated poem, William Yeats always longed to escape his city life and return to the isle of Innisfree where he could immerse himself in nature and find solitude.A holiday at our Carbis Bay Innisfree offers exactly that: a place to relax in peace, surrounded by Nature in all her glory.

The seaside community of Carbis Bay is well renowned for its magnificent stretch of pure white sand, which is only a short drive from iconic St Ives. The beach feels almost subtropical, with turquoise waters and protected conditions, and is ideal for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The Ocean Sports Centre is located on the beach, so if sunbathing isn't your thing, rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and get out on the ocean instead. Alternatively, why not book a Spa day at the charming hotel that overlooks the beach and has a great patio where you can sip cocktails while basking in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay features a few local businesses and restaurants, as well as a fish and chip shop and a railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay to St Ives is one of the most beautiful in the country, and St Ives itself is a terrific day out with plenty of galleries to see.
