Carbis bay is a fickle subpar beachbreak that only really works in big winter swells, but when smaller is otherwise fine for beginners. Crowded when on (as too big pretty much everywhere else), or in summer, works tide round, best on a SW offshore.

Quality, lesser known spot to be found nearby for the adventurous - tricky access, climb and a jump at high tide required.
