Porth Kidney Sands is sometimes claimed by Lelant but is in fact a lesser known beach of Carbis Bay. Reached at low tide from Carbis Bay beach around Hawkes Point, Porthkidney stretches as far as the Hayle Estuary and is backed by sand dunes and unspoilt by buildings. The views across the beach to Godrevy create evocative images which have been the inspiration of many artists including John Miller.
The coastal path from Carbis Bay past Porth Kidney House will reveal the old miners’ steps which you can take down to Porth Kidney Sands at low tide, alternatively take the Headland Road coast path from Carbis Bay, past The Sea Urchin Apartments to get a higher perspective of these dramatic views.
Approaching Lelant village, follow the signs to St Uny church and park nearby, the footpath takes you through the sand dunes along the beach to Porth Kidney Sands. These stunning views are across the Hayle estuary to Mexico Towans, Hayle Towans, Gwithian and Godrevy Lighthouse and back to St Ives.
