- The Bluff, Riviere Towans, Hayle, TR18 5AF, walk down to the pub and follow the path all the way
Great for pushchairs and wheelchairs as ramp all the way.
Links up with Hayle beach (to the right) and Estuary (to the left) at low tide. (Each
has their own path down at high tide, although The Bluff has the easiest access).
Can get busy at high tide as becomes quite small.
Lovely warm shallow pools are left at low tide perfect for little ones (the sea goes out a long way!!)
