In recent years, Carbis Bay has been named as one of the worlds 20 most beautiful bays and sits between the harbour town of St Ives and the sandy Hayle Estuary. Home to the famed Tate St Ives Gallery and the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum, St Ives is bordered by three beautiful sandy beaches which are repeatedly voted among the best in the British Isles, one particularly for surfing. Set against the colourful backdrop of the working fishing harbour, the turquoise waters of St Ives have attracted artists since the 19th century due to its renowned clarity of northern light.
