Trelissick Road, Hayle · Just minutes from St Ives Bay
Paradise Park is one of Hayle’s best-known family attractions, combining a wildlife sanctuary with plenty to keep younger visitors entertained. Families can see penguins, parrots, flamingos, otters and many other species, alongside daily feeding sessions and free-flying bird displays.
The huge JungleBarn indoor play centre makes this a particularly useful activity when the Cornish weather changes, while outdoor play areas, the Fun Farm and miniature Jungle Express train help turn it into a full family day out.
Make the most of Cornwall’s coastline with a surf lesson on the sands of St Ives Bay. Hayle Surf School offers lessons for complete beginners through to surfers wanting to improve their technique, with tuition adapted to different ages and abilities, giving you the perfect experience.
Lessons last around two hours and include both a surfboard and wetsuit, so you don’t need to bring your own equipment. Surfboard, wetsuit and bodyboard hire is also available if you’d rather head into the water independently.
For something away from the beach, Coast 2 Coast Karting offers an outdoor karting experience just outside Hayle. Sessions are suitable for both first-time drivers and more experienced karters, making it a great option for families, groups and anyone wanting a little friendly competition.
Drivers receive a full safety briefing and the necessary equipment before heading onto the circuit. Children can take part from age eight, subject to minimum height requirements, and advance booking is essential. This is perfect for a planned day out bringing lots of memories to group, families and couples.
Hayle Estuary is an excellent choice for a quieter day outdoors and is particularly popular with wildlife lovers. The reserve is an important stopping point for migratory birds, providing opportunities to see a wide variety of species throughout the year, and to see some species you may never know existed.
There are several walking options, including a one-mile circular route around Ryan’s Field and access to the Eric Grace Memorial Hide overlooking the saltmarsh and lagoon. The nearby King George V Memorial Walk also provides an easy level route alongside Copperhouse Creek.
We have a wide range of stunning properties for you to book your perfect getaway, some of our properties are also pet friendly so you can bring your four legged friends too!
