Hayle
Located on Cornwall's North coast and fast regaining its popularity after a flurry of new development plans (which are well underway as of early 2021 for the old quayside!), Hayle will soon boast a great mix of older characterful properties plus brand-new accommodation, restaurants and bars as well as miles of golden sandy beaches.
Top things to do...

Visit the penguins! - At the award-winning Paradise Park, you'll meet many rare colourful birds including parrots, Humboldt's penguins, Caribbean flamingos and kookaburras just to name a few. Also on site is the fun farm with mini donkeys, pygmy goats, sheep and guinea pigs - Great for the kids!
Go seal spotting – Mutton cove, just past Godrevy head is home to a large colony of grey seals, which can usually be seen all your round. You may get lucky and see pods of dolphins jumping clear of the water too! Although a rare occurrence, they have been spotted around Godrevy at the right time or year. Put the pedal to the metal – Go Kart at coast-to-coast karting, they have fast karts and a big track - An adrenaline filled day out for ages 8 and above. |
Get sandy toes – Go for a day at the beach! Within walking distance of the town, Hayle Towans is a highly rated beach known for its huge stretch of sandy coastline.
Go for a strike! - Country skittles set in rural Hayle is a family friendly restaurant and bar with air hockey, pool tables and other games alongside their main attraction of Skittles! Similar to ten pin bowling, just with 9 skittles and shorter lanes. See Godrevy Lighthouse - Park up at one of the nearby Godrevy carparks and walk the beautiful circuit around Godrevy head. You won't miss the lighthouse, which has been protecting ships from the stones reef for centuries! Why not grab some lunch after at the nearby Godrevy Cafe, or Rockpool Cafe. |

What is Hayle famous for...Threemile Beach
Aptly named because the beach stretches for over 3 miles, covering Godrevy, Gwithian, Mexico and Hayle Towans beaches, all of which are untouched golden sandy shoreline - Plenty of room for dogs to run loose on, and it is also very popular with water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, body boarding and surfing! |

If you only do one thing...Get a Philps Cornish Pasty!
Almost as famous than Threemile beach, and widely known for their delicious traditional Cornish pasties, is of course Philps! With their flagship shop on the corner of the main road through Hayle town, we highly recommended grabbing a generously sized Cornish pasty and find the nearest harbour side bench to enjoy! |
