A significant RSPB wildlife estuary flows out of Hayle in the remote southwest corner of Cornwall and into the stunning St. Ives Bay, where tourists may enjoy three miles of golden sand beaches, hiking, history, and wildlife. Hayle offers a wide range of activities ashore as well. Paradise Park is a wildlife park where visitors may see amazing parrots, otters, and red pandas. The harbour and estuary region of Hayle are home to a variety of stores, eateries, and bars. Skittles and kart racing are available for the whole family, and Lelant, a mile outside of Hayle, has one of Cornwall's top links golf courses. The three miles of golden sand beach in Gwithian, where there is a surf shop, instruction, and equipment rental, is Hayle's crowning glory. There are beach cafes where the less active can relax while taking in the scenery and watching the kids play. Given its central location, Hayle is easily reachable by both public transportation (there is a train station nearby) and private transportation. A short drive will take you to St. Ives, where you may stroll through the winding alleys, visit the art galleries, or take in the vibrant subtropical gardens. There are several boat trips available in St Ives Harbour that are skippered by locals eager to highlight the finest of Cornwall, whether it is seal watching at Seal Island, a few hours of mackerel fishing, or a leisurely journey to Godrevy Lighthouse. St Ives Harbour has its own modest fishing fleet.
