Direct Beach access

Beach in Cornwall

Riviere Sands has plenty to do for all the family, but the star attraction of this Park has to be the direct access to a stunning, white, sandy beach. This creates a big beach-front experience that will never be forgotten. One glance at the huge sandy bay and you know this is 100% Cornwall, blessed with a beautiful coastline, sun-kissed beaches and sizzling fun. On the edge of a sandy bay, Riviere Sands has all the fun you would expect, plus stunning views of the ocean beyond.

This gorgeous stretch of coast makes up part of a necklace of golden beaches which are bordered by the picturesque fishing town of St Ives to the west and fringed by the dunes of Hayle to the east. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer months to ensure your safety, while the beach has won awards for its cleanliness and water quality.

Whilst there is direct beach access to the fantastic sandy beaches from the Park, if you do have walking difficulties or are wheelchair bound, the beach is not accessible via this access.
