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.

Watergate is popular with surfers but also popular with families as this beach offered a large expanse of sand for activities with the children.
