A07 Carabus, Riviere Towans

Holiday Rental Description

Carabus is a light, bright and spacious holiday chalet on Riviere Towans Holiday Park, Hayle. Just moments from three miles of golden, sandy surf beach and a spectacular stretch of the South West Coast Path, Carabus makes an easy-going family base for exploring St Ives Bay and beyond. Inside, a large open-plan living/kitchen/dining area creates a sociable hub for relaxed days and unhurried evenings, while three bedrooms (two doubles and one bunk room) offer flexible sleeping for up to six. A generous shower room, level access to the rear door and plentiful on-site parking right next to the chalet keep arrivals and beach runs wonderfully simple.

The living space faces the front of the property and enjoys a bright outlook, with comfy seating for downtime after coastal adventures. The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering with fitted cupboards, an electric cooker, under-counter fridge and freezer, microwave and washing machine, and there’s a dining table and chairs for easy mealtimes. French-style outlooks and a secluded seating area to the side invite morning coffees and sunny lunches, while a picnic bench to the front is perfect for alfresco suppers.

The Location

The holiday park is one of the oldest in the country, with the first chalets constructed in the early 1920s. Today it’s a beautiful site with a wide 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. Call in at 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’s rugged coasts and beautiful coves have inspired artists, writers and filmmakers and feature in numerous films and TV series, including the popular Poldark series.
