Carbis bay sits between Hayle and St. Ives. It's a large sandy cove, but it is not scalloped out of solid rock like the Newquay town beaches - here the coast slopes up a bit more gently, covered with gorse all in yellow flower at the moment, and scrubby trees. Altogether more genteel, the exclusive playground of those who can afford the houses overlooking St. Ives bay. Here the light seems always to be soft, bathing the sea and sky in rich translucent colours...
