The Location
Riviere Towans Holiday Park has been part of Cornwall’s holiday story since the 1920s, when the very first beach chalets were built. Today, it’s a charming mix of quirky, privately owned holiday cottages, chalets, bungalows, and lodges, many with breathtaking sea views. Best of all, every property is just a short stroll from the golden sands of Hayle beach and the sparkling waters of St Ives Bay.
On Your Doorstep
Step outside and you’ll find adventure and relaxation waiting. Wander the coastal path from Hayle Estuary to Godrevy Lighthouse, stopping at beach cafés, seafood shacks, and surf spots along the way. Surfing, paddleboarding, bodyboarding, kayaking, and even kitesurfing are all on offer within walking distance. Nature lovers can enjoy the RSPB Hayle Estuary Reserve, while families will love Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary, Hayle Lido, and of course, Cornwall’s famous ice cream parlours and pasty shops.
Further Afield
A short train ride along the coast takes you to the vibrant harbour town of St Ives, home to Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum. Explore Penzance’s historic streets, Newlyn’s bustling fish market, or head further west to Land’s End and the rugged cliffs of Sennen Cove. For panoramic views, walk up to Knill’s Monument and Steeple Woodland before heading down to Carbis Bay for fine dining and a sheltered swim.
A Year-Round Destination
Cornwall is a timeless favourite with artists, writers, and filmmakers — from Poldark to Hollywood blockbusters. Whether you’re after a laid-back beach break, family adventures, or a romantic coastal escape, Toms Holidays at Riviere Towans is the ideal base.
Winter Stays
Riviere Towans is just as magical in winter, with bracing walks, cosy pubs, and fewer crowds. Do note that this is also when many owners carry out renovations and site maintenance, which may cause some background noise. If you’d like reassurance before booking, our team will be happy to chat. The winter season runs from 1st November until 1st April (or the week before Good Friday, whichever comes first).
All our holiday homes are self-catered, with well-equipped kitchens, TVs, heating, and plenty of home comforts. Many also include washing machines. Check the property details above to see the exact facilities available.
