Location Information:
Carbis
Bay is a village and seaside resort
in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It lies
one mile south of St Ives on the
west side of St Ives Bay on the
Atlantic coast.
Carbis Bay is almost contiguous with
St Ives but is often considered[who?]
to be part of Lelant, an older
settlement one mile south. The 2001
census gave the combined population
of Carbis Bay/Lelant as 3482. The
village overlooks a bay, bordered to
the west by Porthminster Point and
to the east by Hawke's Point, which
surrounds a popular family beach
after which the village is named.
The bay is part of the larger St
Ives Bay. Wheal Providence in Carbis
Bay is the type locality of the
mineral Connellite
Carbis
Bay is popular with tourists,
attracted by the South West Coast
Path that runs through the village,
the longest National Trail in the
United Kingdom, and by the nearby
beauty spot Hawke's Point.
Additionally, the picturesque St
Ives Bay Line railway, one of the
few profit-making branch lines in
the UK, also serves the village.
