St Ives Bay Holiday Park

South West Coast Path (Section 20: Hayle to St Ives)

Hugs the dramatic Cornish coastline with moderate to steep climbs over headlands and sandy coves. Mostly clifftop paths with some beach sections – stunning views but exposed terrain makes it unsuitable for buggies and challenging for small children (consider stamina and cliff edges carefully). Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and during bird nesting season. The golden sweep of Porthmeor Beach and St Ives' artist-colony charm make this classic coast path segment absolutely worth the effort.

South West Coast Path (Section 19: Portreath to Hayle)

Follows dramatic clifftop terrain with steep ascents and descents around Godrevy Point, passing through varied coastal landscapes including sand dunes near Hayle. Not suitable for buggies or young children due to challenging gradients and exposed cliff edges. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and nesting birds. Rewards with stunning views of Godrevy Lighthouse, sweeping St Ives Bay vistas, and excellent wildlife spotting opportunities including seals and seabirds along this wild Atlantic coas

St Michael's Way

Traces a gentle 20km pilgrimage path from Lelant to St Michael's Mount across Cornwall's mild countryside and coastal stretches. Mostly flat with occasional modest inclines, suitable for older children but too long and rural for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Combines historic waymarkers, farmland views, and that dramatic tidal island finale—a proper Cornish spiritual journey without the punishing gradients.
