  • Cornwall holiday park with beach access five minutes’ drive from Hayle
  • A 20-minute drive from Tate St Ives
  • Bar, bistro and shop on site, plus a play park and heated indoor pool
Private access to a three-mile sandy beach sound tempting? That's the fabulous feature you’ll get at St Ives Bay Holiday Park, set on sand dunes five minutes’ drive from Hayle in Cornwall. If you’re all piling in for a family holiday, you can spend days building sandcastles, running around on the beach with the kids and cooling off in the sea. Travelling as a couple? You’ll have spectacular sea views across St Ives Bay and you’re almost guaranteed colourful sunsets as a backdrop for romantic twilight strolls on the sand. And when kicking back and enjoying the views is not quite enough for you (and, let’s face it, the kids will want more), how about crazy golf, tennis or the amusement arcades? You can burn off more energy at the surf school or in the heated indoor swimming pool, and there are play areas scattered around the park to wear the kids out properly. With all this going on, make sure you leave time to unwind for a drink at the terrace bar with superb views over the bay and a menu of small, tapas-style snacks – there’s entertainment in the evenings too. Or you may like to make a night of it with the family over a freshly prepared meal at Sands Bistro? Forgotten an important ingredient or need milk for your morning cuppa? There’s a well-stocked independent shop on site that stocks all the essentials, including your daily newspaper.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Perfect setting, beautiful views of the beach, the beach itself from the site is stunning,nice big pitch sizes, didn’t feel as though we were cramped with the next tent or vans, shop had everything you may need, we ate at the bistro a couple of times which was quite good, although the breakfasts were quite cold unfortunately.Plenty of bins around and the site was clean and tidy. Washing up area really good, under cover and good position. Large showers which were actually a lovely temperature and plenty of toilets.was pretty peaceful although we stayed out of the school holidays and I would say maybe gets busy and louder through the holidays Overall an enjoyable stay.

Disliked Not really a dislike more of a warning to people with mobility issues, I have arthritis and found the walk to and from the beach a bit of a killer as it’s very steep from most walkways, but as I say not a dislike just be prepared, maybe the shower block could have been a bit cleaner but the tiles are a colour that would be hard to always look clean rather than not being clean.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Warm fun welcome when we arrived, asked if we could be near the beach and said of course quick go grab a pitch now we shall bring the welcome pack up to you.
Toilets and showers lovely and clean.
Kids both age 10 could walk around the site on their own with us feeling they were perfectly safe.
Kept very clean all over the park and spectacular views of the beach.
Took us literally 3 minutes to walk down the dunes onto the stunning beach.
Sunset was amazing 🤩
Staff couldn’t do enough for you and entertainment team were great with the kids.

Disliked I love a game of bingo…. Could be made more fun. I understand it’s with the other parks too but could make it more enjoyable if it was less serious.
