Dog-friendly site five minutes’ walk from a surfing beach in Hayle
St Ives 20 minutes’s drive; Minack Theatre 35 minutes
On-site surf school and equipment hire; yoga sessions; café

Sea, surf and spectacular views – the deal at Sandy Acres Campsite sounds pretty good already, right? But there’s another element that might make it extra sweet, and that’s its dog-friendly nature. Four-legged guests (on a lead) are welcome – and not just on site, but also at the nearby beach, a vast expanse of golden sand also named Sandy Acres (five minutes’ walk, just beyond the Hayle Sand Dunes). Besides its splendid and convenient location, this pleasant site has a relaxed, low-key vibe. That doesn’t mean, however, that there are no perks here. True, there is no electric hook-up (though the owners will be happy to charge your mobile phone in the office), but there are several toilets, hot-water showers and a washing-up area (no hot water there, though). And while there is no fridge to store your grillable items, there is a freezer for your ice packs, plus a small café serving drinks and smoothies. For anything else, the nearest shop is just under a mile away, or you can head into Hayle town (10 minutes’ drive) for supermarkets, restaurants and pubs. With the practical aspects of your holiday taken care of, all you need to do is relax and take advantage of the site’s facilities, which include a surf school (catering to all levels) and equipment hire (from body- and surfboards to wetsuits), plus yoga sessions, which take place on the beach (or in a wooden hut if the weather takes a turn).

Local attractions

On the outskirts of Hayle, Paradise Park and JungleBarn Cornwall (10 minutes’ drive) is home to small mammals such as otters and red pandas, plus dozens of species of birds, including colourful parrots, flamingoes and a penguin colony. If birding is your jam, continue on to RSPB Hayle Estuary (10 minutes), inhabited by wetland birds. In St Ives (20 minutes by car, or take a 25-minute train ride from Hayle), the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and Tate St Ives (the latter overlooking sandy Porthmeor Beach) ought to satisfy your art cravings. Then take a stroll through the town’s cobbled streets or along the harbour, stopping for ice cream or fish and chips. Head west to Porthcurno (35 minutes), where the Minack Theatre puts on plays and concerts in a most spectacular setting. The seating is carved right out of the granite cliff, and the stage has the waters of Porthcurno Bay as its dramatic backdrop.
