Carbis Bay
Edit SpotAbout
Pants if its not right - but you can get lucky.
Atmosphere:
Usually quiet family beach so gets forgotten about!!! easy parking, plenty of space on beach.
Additional Info:
Needs to be going off! Very Sheltered so the right side of the beach towards Hawks Point is the only place to get breaks... dead calm most of the time but I've surfed 6ft+. Very safe beach. Never red-flagged so even in semi storms you can ride.
