Carbis Bay is a hot spot in the summer for tourists, the beautiful sandy postcard beaches with the turquoise sea bring in all the second homeowners back to lovely Cornwall to admire everything it has to offer. Located just one mile off St Ives, Carbis bay is an ideal spot for families with toddlers as the sea in the bay is perfect for swimming but not great for the surf. During low tide, this opens up Porthkidney sands where you will find the RSPB bird sanctuary, an important habitat for the sea birds.
Par Sands Beach is located in South East Cornwall and situated near St Austell just a short walk away from Par Sands Beach. Par Sands beach is a wide sandy beach and faces towards the south, this beach also backs on to some low sand dunes like most cornish beaches. During summer the beach can get quite busy with many holiday parks around the beach although it can get crowded it never feels it as the beach is vast. Low tide opens to beach up more and unveils some rock pools to explore with the children.
Swimming at Par Sands can be quite safe but considering there is no lifeguard cover we always enter the sea with caution.
