Carbis Bay Beach Live Cam

The Carbis Bay Hotel, St Ives, Cornwall. Live cam situated on the edge of the beach, has superb views across St Ives Bay and offers luxury accommodation, award-winning cuisine and traditional, high standards of service.

The Carbis Bay Hotel can provide as little, or as much, as you need to help ensure your perfect holiday, which is why many of our guests return to visit us year after year!

The Award winning Carbis Bay Hotel is situated on the golden sands of Carbis Bay Beach, reputedly one of the finest beaches in the Country. Part of the larger St Ives Bay, it is one of only two bays in the United Kingdom qualifying to be a member of the exclusive, internationally recognised 'Most Beautiful Bays in the World' organisation.

The pool and sun terrace nestle in our tropical gardens and are ideal for relaxing or whiling away long summer days - perhaps taking morning coffee after a gentle stroll, or enjoying one of our special Cornish cream teas.

Built in 1894 by the famous architect Sylvanus Trevail, the Carbis Bay Hotel quickly gained popularity as a result of the boom in seaside holidays which had been made possible by the expansion of the railways. Indeed, at the turn of the 19th century, Carbis Bay Station was a grand affair, boasting its own Station Master, station house and full-time staff.

The Godrevy Lounge - A quiet corner to relax in comfort and elegance with, perhaps, a glass of wine or a good book. On cooler evenings, an open fire burns, creating an inviting, gracious ambience. Our thirty-nine bedrooms vary in size and each has an individual style. All are furnished to a high standard, have hospitality trays, hairdryer, colour television, room service and daily in-house laundry as standard. Many rooms have sea views and our superior rooms (shown right) offer an additional touch of luxury.

The Terrace Lounge - From here you can look down on the expanse of beach or across to Godrevy Lighthouse, immortalised by Virginia Wolfe in her novel 'To the Lighthouse'. It is the ideal place to watch the sea's constantly changing moods which have given inspiration to generations of Cornish artists. The swimming pool and sun terrace have a truely mediterranian atmosphere and are ideal for relaxing or sun-bathing with stunning views across the beach and bay. Enjoy a warm dip before morning coffee or perhaps one of our special Cornish cream teas.

Cabaret artists provide a wide range of family entertainment through the high season, including specially themed shows for children of all ages. Early dinner is available for very young children or they can eat in the main restaurant during the first hour of service.
