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.

Overall cleanliness good, kitchen cupboard space filled with too many glasses. When using the iron it tripped the fuse box, also would of been good if advised the iron board was under the bed. The chalet was comfortable and amply room for our group of 5.

Great stay, great view from the chalet. It was clean and has everything you need. The park was clean and quiet (out of school holidays). Great location for walking into the town.

Smeranda was a lovely cabin with great views but maybe a rail to help the 'oldies' up the steep bit! Really enjoyed our stay and will visit again. So peaceful. Mum and partner, the Crowley visit here at least once a year. They love it. Thank you.

We stayed for a week in Chalet E24 Smeranda, which was clean and tidy and was better than the pictures on Toms website, the chalet had clear views over St Ives Bay as it is in a raised setting.
The site is also clean and tidy and very well kept. It was really nice to see and hear children playing on the play grounds.
