The beach is a steep walk down from the station but there is usually plenty of space, soft white sands, turquoise waters and a café (eat-in or takeaway) on site.

If you don’t fancy the steep climb, then you can always take the train all the way to St Ives and walk to Carbis Bay along the South West Coast Path. The walk should take about 25 minutes (get directions) but the views out over the coast are spectacular.
