Bide a wee is a chalet to enjoy the surrounding dunes and spectacular views across Hayle Estuary

‘Bide a Wee' means to stay a little… or maybe you'd like to stay a lot? The names of the chalets at Riviere Towans have stayed with them over the years, and offer us a little insight in to the original owners holiday experience… Bide a wee is a place from which to enjoy the surrounding dunes and spectacular views across Hayle Estuary towards West Cornwall Golf Course and Lelant Church. From the side view of the property there are glimpses straght across St ives Bay.
Perfectly located for the south west coastal path and the stunning stretch of sandy surf beach which runs from Hayle Estuary all the way to Gwithian. Access to the beach is on foot, and once there you can explore coves, caves, and the fabulous tidal lagoon which forms at high tide opposite Lula's Rib Shack…

The Location
The holiday park is one of the oldest in the country, with the first chalets constructed in the early 1920s. Now a beautiful site with a vast range of unique, quirky and privately owned accommodation, including beach chalets, bungalows and lodges. Many have stunning sea views and all are within a few minutes walk of the beach.

On the doorstep
Walk the coastal path at low tide all the way along the beach from Hayle river mouth to the Cliff tops of Godrevy and the surf break at Gwithian where you'll find great food and drinks from cocktails to coffees, ice creams and fresh seafood at the local cafes and restaurants.

For those seeking surf, beginners to experienced surfers and bodyboarders can enjoy doorstep breaks at Hayle Rivermouth and Mexico Towans, both within walking distance of the park. Paddle boarding and kayaking on the Estuary, as well as kitesurfing and windsurfing are popular all year round.
Hayle is home to the RSPB Hayle Estuary Reserve, Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary, Hayle Lido, ice cream parlours, gift shops, great food (including Cornwall's best Pasties from Philps), pubs and supermarkets.

Further Afield
Take the coastal train from Lelant to St. Ives, and visit The Tate & Barbara Hepworth museums. Visit Newlyn Harbour and Fish market for the best in Cornish Fish. Wander around the historical market town of Penzance, taking in the Harbour and Egyptian House or take a day trip to Lands End and coastal walk to Sennen Cove.
Find your way to Knill's Monument and Steeple Woodland Nature reserve, a 40 acre public open space which overlooks St Ives Bay before making your way down to Carbis Bay for fabulous food, drinks and its sheltered beach.
Cornwall has always been a favourite of artists, writers and film producers and its rugged coasts and beautiful coves have featured in numerous films and TV series most recently, the popular Poldark series. Whether it is a relaxing break or a more action packed holiday you are seeking, Toms Holidays at Riviere Towans is the ideal destination.

I loved the chalet and surrounding areas. Felt welcome and so did my family. Loved that they have access to wheelchair users, my grandma appreciated it.
