Riviere Sands Holiday Park by Haven

Riviere Sands is a Haven holiday park on the clifftop above St Ives Bay near Hayle, with direct access to the beach and views across the bay to St Ives, about 4km to the south-west. Porthkidney Beach is 1km from the park; Carbis Bay is 3.1km and Gwithian Towans 3.6km. The park has an outdoor pool, restaurant, bar, play areas, and an on-site surf school - the kind of operation where you can spend a week without needing to leave the site if you don't want to.

Accommodation options span lodges, caravans, and static units - types and sizes vary by booking period, so check current availability for the specific unit category. The park does not list Wi-Fi or EV charging as standard amenities, and dogs are not permitted.

The surrounding area is strong for families. Hayle town is a short drive, and St Ives - with its galleries, harbour, and Porthmeor Beach - is under 15 minutes by car. The South West Coast Path runs above the bay, connecting the park to both Godrevy Lighthouse to the north and St Ives to the south.

Best for families with children who want on-site activities, a pool, and beach access without much driving. Less good for couples seeking quiet or anyone wanting self-catered privacy away from a large park environment.
