Welcome to the Ocean Sports Centre

The Ocean Sports Centre is located on Carbis Bay beach, one of the stunning beaches that surround St. Ives Bay and the only Private Blue Flag beach in the UK. Carbis Bay is the perfect location for relaxing on the beach in the sun or messing about in its sheltered waters. We have everything you need the moment your toes touch the sand – deck chairs & wind breaks, safari eco tours in our Hawaiian Canoes or Sit-on-kayaks; perfect for family’s and groups.
Want to keep things casual? why not splash and dash with our equipment hire sit-on-kayaks, stand up paddle boards, Mega SUP (eight person paddle board), wetsuits (child & adult age ranges) and body boards.

Our Accreditations

At the Ocean Sports Centre we take the safety of our customers and staff extremely seriously. We are proud to be recognised by the Adventurous Activities Licensing Service (an external auditing body) for our quality, continued safety standards and commitment to high standards of instruction equipment and service.
