The Location
The holiday park is one of the oldest in the country, with the first chalets constructed in the early 1920s. Now a beautiful site with a vast range of unique, quirky and privately owned accommodation, including beach chalets, bungalows and lodges. Many have stunning sea views and all are within a few minutes walk of the beach.
On the doorstep
Walk the coastal path at low tide all the way along the beach from Hayle river mouth to the Cliff tops of Godrevy and the surf break at Gwithian where you’ll find great food and drinks from cocktails to coffees, ice creams and fresh seafood at the local cafes and restaurants.
For those seeking surf, beginners to experienced surfers and bodyboarders can enjoy doorstep breaks at Hayle Rivermouth and Mexico Towans, both within walking distance of the park. Paddle boarding and kayaking on the Estuary, as well as kitesurfing and windsurfing are popular all year round.
Hayle is home to the RSPB Hayle Estuary Reserve, Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary, Hayle Lido, ice cream parlours, gift shops, great food (including Cornwall’s best Pasties from Philps), pubs and supermarkets.
Further Afield
Take the coastal train from Lelant to St. Ives, and visit The Tate & Barbara Hepworth museums. Visit Newlyn Harbour and Fish market for the best in Cornish Fish. Wander around the historical market town of Penzance, taking in the Harbour and Egyptian House or take a day trip to Lands End and coastal walk to Sennen Cove.
Find your way to Knill's Monument and Steeple Woodland Nature reserve, a 40 acre public open space which overlooks St Ives Bay before making your way down to Carbis Bay for fabulous food, drinks and its sheltered beach.
Cornwall has always been a favourite of artists, writers and film producers and its rugged coasts and beautiful coves have featured in numerous films and TV series most recently, the popular Poldark series. Whether it is a relaxing break or a more action packed holiday you are seeking, Toms Holidays at Riviere Towans is the ideal destination.

This was not our first accommodation, however we were relocated to this beautiful place after a few issues, plenty of communication and we had help instantly from the team I can’t fault the team for ensuring we had everything we needed to make memories as a family, quick to respond to complaints very accommodating we can’t complain a perfect place to stay 4 adults 2 children and a baby for a week was an easy stay even with 3 CPAP sleep machines, the washing machine was a blessing, the mattresses were clean and well protected! Extra bed linen was needed not a problem! The beds were comfy, we slept great and the sound of the sea was perfect! Thank you! Lovely site clean with a helpful team at hand willing to help you have a beautiful holiday!

We had a great holiday and loved the WIFI and new shower installation. Parking was right outside and suitable for people with basic walking difficulties.

A delightful chalet - small but surprisingly spacious and well-laid out. The facilities were clean and in good order and it really felt like home for the few days we were there.

Spacious chalet
On Monday, 28 Aug 2023
Property was in good condition and adequately cleaned . In common with many properties on the site access is not ideal for those with mobility issues (my wife currently uses a walking frame) The property lacks of a decent sized pan or vegetable paring knife , toaster only takes small thin slices, and cooker rings are particularly slow to heat up and cool down. Hot water imersion heater failed early in our stay buy was quickly repaired. Bath and Shower with separate toilet and main bedroom sinks was a good feature.
