A Message from Toms

Come and find us in our on-site office open 09:00–17:00 Monday–Saturday and 09:00–13:00 on Sundays; from maintenance to housekeeping, travel tips and directions, we’re here to help! There is a 24-hour ‘out of hours’ contact number for us too.

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 along the beach from the 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 local cafés 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. Paddleboarding and kayaking on the estuary, as well as kitesurfing and windsurfing, are popular 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 Tate and the Barbara Hepworth Museum. Visit Newlyn Harbour and the fish market for the best in Cornish fish. Wander the historic market town of Penzance, taking in the harbour and the Egyptian House, or head to Land’s End and the coastal walk to Sennen Cove. Seek out Knill’s Monument and Steeple Woodland Nature Reserve, a 40-acre public open space overlooking St Ives Bay, before making your way down to Carbis Bay for fabulous food, drinks and its sheltered beach. Cornwall has long inspired artists, writers and filmmakers, and its rugged coasts and beautiful coves feature in numerous films and TV series, including the popular Poldark series.
