Public access can be had from the steep lane leading from the Yorkshire Water pumping station, just off the A165 Filey Road. The Cleveland Way skirts the clifftop for the length of the bay.
The bay is named after the semi-precious stone carnelian, examples of which are occasionally found washed up on the shore.
