Carbis Bay 2016




 
 
 
Well I'm writing this feeling extremely grateful and lucky but at the same time rather sad! We have just had the most wonderful week in Cornwall and in all honestly I could have easily stayed for another week (or three). How do you happily say goodbye to a place that is this beautiful...
 

 
 
 
Our house that we booked through Carbis Bay Holidays was called Trelowen and it was absolutely perfect...





 
 



 
 
The beach was only a short walk away, down a few steep hills so the journey down there was always much easier than coming back in the afternoon. If Fredster can do it without moaning then it can't be that bad.
 
The beach in Carbis Bay is one of the most idyllic I have seen in the UK. The sand is soft and golden and the water was unbelievably clear. There are caves to explore and the waves varied from day to day - sometimes nice and calm, perfect for the little people and sometimes rougher and great for body boarding.






 
 





 
 






 
 
 

St Ives is only a mile away from Carbis Bay and
you can walk there along the coastal path. There is also a little train station near the beach and tickets into St Ives are very cheap and the journey only takes a few minutes.




 
 
Carbis Bay is a great base if you want to do bit of sightseeing. In one day we visited Lands End..
 



 


...the Minack Theatre
 
 


 
...and St Michael's Mount
 


 
 
It really was one of the best holidays we have had in the UK and I'm sure we will be going back.
