More Information about Hayle

        Hayle is very popular with holiday makers with many facilities and a wide range of leisure activities only a short walk from the beach.

Famous for the three mile stretch of soft golden sand, stretching in a gentle crescent from St Ives Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse, with superb panoramic views of St Ives, Carbis Bay and Godrevy Lighthouse, which - like so many of Britain's lighthouses - is no longer manned. Godrevy Lighthouse provided the novelist Virginia Woolf with the inspiration for her novel 'To the Lighthouse'.

Behind the main expanse of sand, you will find The Towans, Cornish for sand dunes, which dominate the coastline and provide a great place for families to explore the rich habitat for wildlife that they create.

  Each year, the Hayle estuary between Copperhouse and Lelant Saltings provides a feeding ground and stop off point for many types of migratory birds.

The long beach at Hayle literally has something for everyone. It is excellent for swimming, surfing and of course sun bathing. There are many swallow pools for the children to play in an during the evening it transform into a truly romantic location for that evening stroll.
