The setting
Between Carbis Bay and Porthkidney

A privileged viewpoint
Hawkes Point forms the eastern edge of Carbis Bay. To one side lies the protected, family-friendly beach; around the headland, Porthkidney Sands opens toward the Hayle Estuary.
St Ives is close by, while Carbis Bay station connects with the scenic St Ives Bay Line to St Erth.
