A great base for touring, the apartment welcomes a family of four to relax on the beach, discover Cornwall's beautiful sights and heritage, and find everything they need for a self-catering stay.
The first floor hosts a light and airy, open-plan living space with a pristine kitchen equipped with an electric oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer, and a washer/dryer to freshen up sandy towels ready for tomorrow.

Head up to the second floor where you'll find a spacious king-size with storage, Smart TV with Netflix, a balcony to catch the sunrise in the mornings, and an en-suite shower room for extra privacy. When it's time to venture out, Carbis Bay has plenty of shops and eateries to choose from such as La Casita for Spanish delicacies, The Bean Inn for vegetarian and vegan dishes, and the Carbis Bay Hotel Beach Club Restaurant to dine right on the beach.
Carbis Bay Beach is a popular spot for watersports, sunbathing in the golden sands, and is idyllically tucked into a cove for plenty of shelter. Head further along the coast to the Bohemian town of St Ives where the Barbara Hepworth Museum, Tate St Ives, and cobbled streets lined with independent shops are sure to please, whilst surfers and swimmers will love the town's sandy beaches, or perhaps you'd prefer a coastal trek along the cliffs? The port town of Hayle is also close by with plenty for the whole family to enjoy, including Paradise Park and JungleBarn Cornwall and Hayle's unspoilt sandy beach, or find more rock pools to explore and waves to surf at Upton Towans Beach.
Be sure to wander the coastal path to Godrevy Point, look out for wildlife along the cliffs of Godrevy nature reserve, and see the 19th-century Lighthouse! Further afield, you'll find Marazion, home to the unique St Michael's Mount, and the bustling town of Penzance with plenty to see along its picturesque promenade.
Book your next family holiday in Cornwall at Samphire for a memorable escape by the sea.

With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead.
Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore.
The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching.
