The best area to stay in Carlyon is the area around Carlyon Bay and its immediate surroundings.


Carlyon Bay itself is the main draw, known for its long, sandy beach and the Carlyon Bay Golf Club. The beachfront offers lovely walking paths and direct access to the sea. The main road running parallel to the beach, Sea Road, features several hotels and eateries.


Couples looking for a relaxing coastal getaway will find this area particularly appealing. The hotels here often provide excellent views of the bay and offer amenities like spas and fine dining. The proximity to the golf course also makes it a superb choice for those who enjoy a round or two during their holiday.


For families, staying slightly inland from the immediate bay area can offer more space and access to self-catering accommodation. Areas just off Sea Road, toward the village of Carlyon Bay, often have holiday parks or larger rental properties.

The best time to visit Carlyon is during the late spring and summer months, particularly from May to September, when the weather is generally at its finest.


During this period, you can expect warmer temperatures and more sunshine, making it ideal for enjoying Carlyon's coastal activities and exploring the local area. The sea is also warmer, superb for swimming or paddleboarding at Carlyon Bay Beach.


July and August are the peak months, offering the best weather but also attracting more visitors. If you prefer a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, May, June, or September are excellent choices. These months still provide ample sunshine for outdoor pursuits while avoiding the busiest crowds.


For those who enjoy walking and exploring the South West Coast Path, spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer comfortable temperatures and beautiful scenery, with wildflowers in bloom during spring and colourful foliage in autumn.
