  • 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.

What customers say

Stunning beachside spot, spacious sites, great staff & hot showers. Fun for families! A few mention dated showers/noise, but supermarkets & St Ives nearby are a big bonus.

Liked The EHU field had amazing views and we liked being able to choose our pitch on arrival. Really close to the beach over the dunes, that was a big bonus. Easy to get to Hayle and St Ives on public transport. The reception staff were really helpful. The park is very well situated for beachy people. Price for 2 nights there was very reasonable.

Disliked The bathroom facilities were pretty basic and not very clean by the evening. No water at each pitch, although a tap was not far away but very close proximity to the chemical waste point, which was also quite basic. The site shop was very small and not very well stocked, but there's a Lidl within walking distance.

Liked Bistro bar onsite do excellent food.

Disliked Toilet and shower facilities were dirty . Barely cleaned. We were informed by email at 11am that the site was closing due to the storm and we had to be off site by 2pm. Understand the safety reasons but 3hrs notice and an email is not acceptable. The signal isn't great in Cornwall. If I hadn't have seen that email and I was out for the day how would we have got back to our motorhome?! Had to cancel things we had booked for my birthday and lost deposits due to giving less than 48hrs notice. Spent my birthday stressing and trying to find somewhere else to stay and they weren't helpful in the slightest I got told to stay in a lay by!!! I was offered a refund just for the rest of the holiday! Would not stay here again.

Liked Campervan section was quiet, and you could select your own pitch.
The sea was just beyond the sand dunes. The facilities were clean and well maintained. The site was ideal for visiting popular attractions nearby, from St Ives, Penzance and St Michael's Mount, to slightly further drive distances for many more.

Disliked The showers require you to keep pressing the taps. The hot water takes a long time to come through later in the day, and is warm, not hot.

Local attractions

For a sneaky lesson in Cornish history, spend time on the immersive Dark Walk at Bodmin Jail Attraction (50 minutes' drive) and take a look around the dank prison cells, or travel back to Tudor times with Elizabethan-themed workshops at National Trust-owned Trerice (40 minutes). Come right back up to date with a tour of the masterpiece works of contemporary art at Tate St Ives (20 minutes). If it’s animal-related activities you’re after, meet rescue owls at the Screech Owl Sanctuary (40 minutes), or feed the seals at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (half an hour).
