About

The area includes the village of Lelant, with its historic church and links golf course overlooking the water. Carbis Bay is noted for its sheltered, sandy beach and steep, wooded valley leading down to the shore.

A key feature is the St Ives Bay Line, a scenic railway that connects these communities, running directly alongside Carbis Bay beach.
