This live camera looks out over Carbis Bay, a sheltered beach on the north coast of Cornwall near St Ives. It is a useful way to check how the sea and sky look before you travel or simply to enjoy the coast from wherever you are. The page also shows local time and a three-day forecast.

About Carbis Bay

Carbis Bay lies just east of St Ives on Cornwall's Atlantic coast, a stretch known for pale sand, clear water and granite headlands. The village sits above the beach, and the bay is a popular base for surfers, families and walkers on the South West Coast Path. The landscape changes quickly with the tide, so the same beach can feel very different from one hour to the next.

What the camera shows

As a beach camera, the view is most likely to include sand, surf and the water line, depending on the angle and the tide. Mornings often bring calmer water and softer light, while late afternoon and evening can give warm colours over the bay. Clear, windy days tend to make the sea and sky most striking, and it is worth watching the surf if you are planning to swim or surf.

Practical notes

Cornwall has a mild, maritime climate, with cool summers and warm, wet winters, and Carbis Bay is often at its most pleasant from late spring to early autumn. Hayle and Gwithian are close by, and the nearby cameras on this page cover those beaches too. Check the weather and tide before you go, as conditions on the north coast can change quickly.
