Latest reviews on Hayle's beaches

Porthmeor Cove
10 ZalaraXV

This beach is an absolute treasure, tucked away in a somewhat elusive location. But once you discover it, you'll be amazed. The sand is simply divine and rivals even the most exotic destinations like the Maldives. The water is crystal clear and pristine. Although it can be a bit choppy on cooler days, it's to be expected. The beauty of this beach cannot be captured in photographs alone. I highly recommend a visit if you happen to be in the vicinity.

Porthminster beach
10 Kadeem Alvarado

This shoreline boasts crystal-clear waters and powdery sand that will take your breath away. If you're traveling with little ones, you'll be pleased to know that during peak season, a dedicated team of volunteers is on hand to entertain and engage your children in a variety of activities. For those looking to explore the water, there are plenty of rental options available nearby, including kayaks, paddle boards, and comfortable deck chairs. While there are toilet facilities on site, it's worth noting that parking can be a bit of a challenge on crowded days. However, once the tide recedes, you'll have the opportunity to stroll to the neighboring beach and take in even more of the scenery.

Porthmeor beach
8 Arjun Patel

The beach offers a serene atmosphere and stunning vistas. There are a few cafes that offer a scenic view of the beach. It is an ideal spot for surfing, and there is even a surfing school available. Non-surfers can also enjoy watching the surfers in action.

Carbis Bay beach
10 Zoben

The beach is absolutely fantastic! Although parking at the Carbis Bay Hotel is available, keep in mind that it's limited and can be quite pricey at £20 per day. Alternatively, there are other car parks located down the road, but be prepared for a steep hill climb. For a more affordable option, we parked at St Erth train station which is just a short 10-minute drive away. The all-day parking fee is only £3.90, and you can easily hop on the train to reach Carbis Bay in no time.

Portreath Beach

This beach is perfect for families with plenty of shops, food options, and restrooms. The car park is just a quick walk away from the beach. We stayed until sunset and it was a truly breathtaking experience.

Praa Sands beach
10 Lenny J.

This beach is one of the best I've ever visited, anywhere. It has a similar vibe to some of the beaches in New South Wales. The sand is great, the beach is clean, and it hasn't been overdeveloped (at least not yet). There are car parking and restroom facilities available, and the new bar below the Sand Bar is a great spot to relax with a cold beer and enjoy the stunning views. It's truly beautiful.
