Situated on the opposite side of St Ives Bay, Hayle is famed for it's 'three miles of golden sand'.

The beaches start at the mouth of the estuary, regarded as an international quality bird-watching spot. Sightings include Avocets, Ospreys and a host of wading birds.

Following the cresent of the beach brings you to the first lifeguard patroled beach - Hayle Towans. Slightly more sheltered from the Atlantic waves and at nearly 2 miles long there's plenty of room for the whole family.

Next is Gwithian, popular with both locals and holiday makers. This is one of the most popular surfing beaches in the area and holds a decent sized swell.

The Hayle sands end with Godrevey Point with the lighthouse on an island about 50 metre out to sea. The point is national trust owned as is the car park.

Hayle town is divided into two districts, Copperhouse and Foundry. Both these names reflect Hayle's industrial herritage which dates back to trading tin with the phoenicians over 2000 years ago.
