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.
Rinsey Cove is located inbetween Praa Sands and Porthleven and its off the beaten track. Owned by the National Trust but doesn’t see as much foot traffic as other National Trust beaches due to its location. Low tide shows a small sandy beach but high tide quickly takes that away and it really is a small scramble down to the beach which isn’t ideal for families. This stretch of coast is quite exposed to powerful swells so given the remoteness and lack of lifeguard cover care should be taken if you fancy a dip.
Song of the Sea Cave is located in West Cornwall situated near Sennen Cove. This is one of Cornwalls hidden gems nestled in far west more remote than most places you would visit in Cornwall.
