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.

It’s a lovely place to stay, it’s peaceful and out of the way from your normal experience of a holiday park.

Very welcoming place in a quiet and clean area. It is 5-7 mins walking to the beach which is one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen in UK. Lidl 5mins away driving and Asda and some more commercial shops are about 7-10mins away driving too. Loads of beautiful places to visit around which are 45min-1h driving but it is worth it as the views around to take you there are stunning! Very easy the check in, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking.

A good value for your money. We really enjoyed our stay. Communication with the host was very easy, responsive and always available. Place itself would suit younger families with children. I found living room a bit crowded (too many sofa, 3 arm chairs and dinning table), but that's just matter of style. Bedroom were nicely decorated, kitchen well equipped and bathroom with a good size. 5-10 mins walk to the beach which was very appreciated and convenient. Lidl/Asda and/or petrol stations within 6mins drive. Overall happy with the place and area, and if we would return in the future, we would definitely consider this place/the host. Thank you!

Our family really enjoyed the stay, accommodation was spotless, newly done, perfect location less than 10 minutes walk to the most beautiful beach with white sand( we visited many beaches but that one is on top), plenty of places to visit within an hour in the car. we would recommend it. Thank You so much and see you soon

Fantastic place to stay on the beach in Cornwall. One of the best of the little cottages which dot the sand dunes, and was obviously freshly updated, painted, and with a new bathroom. A rare cottage with three separate bedrooms, and separated by a small hallway from the kitchen, which in turn has a separate small living area: great with small children as we could put them to sleep and not disturb them in the kitchen. Toms were great, and easily accommodated an extended stay.
