Hayle Beach, Cornwall

Located in Hayle, Cornwall, South West England, England
Hayle Beach is a huge stretch of low tide blond sand in the centre of St Ives Bay. The Hayle Estuary separates Hayle Beach from another massive beach to the west called Porth Kidney Sands
At low tide, Hayle Beach curls around Hayle Towans and runs north east to join Gwithian Beach. A vast sand dune system rises tall behind the beach. Access is via paths running down from these sand dunes. We've positioned Hayle Beach on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. You'll see those paths running down from, for example, Hayle Towans, Riviere Towans and Mexico Towans
Hayle Beach and its sand dunes are near the Port of Hayle. One of ten areas that make up the UNESCO Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, the Port of Hayle served the copper and tin mines inland. The town, its harbour and quays are internationally important and well worth exploring if you're interested in history
St. Ives is visible across the bay. We'd recommend walking the South West Coast Path from Hayle to St Ives if you have time
