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.
Plaidy Beach is located in South East Cornwall and situated near Looe. Plaidy beach is a small shingle, sandy beach and during summer can be a nice spot to miss the crowds around Looe. The beach is actually backed on to a residential area with a nice tranquil feel to it. High tide at the beach doesn’t leave much to work with so check the tide times before arriving. Low tide actually opens up the beach to revel some rock pools to explore Cornish marine life.
The south-easterly aspect of the beach makes it fairly sheltered and catches the sun. Whilst there is no lifeguard service the swimming and snorkelling are generally safe.
