Discover Cornwall Beneath the Surface

Cornwall’s golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and postcard-perfect fishing villages are just the beginning. Beneath this breathtaking surface lies a hidden world. One shaped by grit, history, and quiet wonder. The Lost Boys of Carbis Bay, a new documentary set to release later this year, invites viewers underground into Cornwall’s forgotten mine tunnels, revealing a side of the county few ever get to see.

Filmed over two years, the documentary follows the Carbis Bay Crew—a close-knit group of local explorers with a passion for uncovering Cornwall’s mining legacy. Their journey takes them deep beneath the coastline, into shadowy tunnels and long-lost shafts carved by generations past. It’s Cornwall as you’ve never seen it: raw, mysterious, and deeply moving.

At Stay Ca Holidays, we believe every trip should connect you to the soul of a place. Cornwall isn’t just about surf and scones (though we’re big fans of both!). It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its mining heritage and the communities shaped by it. Watching The Lost Boys of Carbis Bay before or during your stay adds a powerful layer to your experience. Whether you’re walking the South West Coast Path, visiting Geevor Tin Mine, or simply gazing out over the cliffs

Our holiday homes aren’t just places to sleep, they’re gateways to Cornwall’s living history. From cozy cottages with roaring fires to tucked-away retreats near old mining trails, each Stay Ca property is chosen to help you feel part of the landscape. Above ground or below, you’re never far from a story worth discovering.

More than a documentary, The Lost Boys of Carbis Bay is a love letter to Cornwall’s resilience, curiosity, and quiet beauty. It’s perfect viewing for anyone planning a visit or anyone who’s already fallen under Cornwall’s spell. The film will be screened in multiple local Cornish cinemas in February 2026.
