Coastal Paradise Awaits
Nestled above the golden sands of St Ives Bay, Riviere Towans is a tranquil and scenic stretch of Cornwall’s north coast. Known for its rolling dunes, wide sea views, and direct access to Hayle Beach, it’s a beloved destination for families, walkers, surfers, and nature lovers. The name means “costal sand dunes” in Cornish, and the landscape delivers just that, peaceful grassy knolls leading to one of the UK’s most unspoiled beaches. Panoramic views, stunning sunsets, and a laid-back atmosphere define the experience here. Riviere Towans is also home to charming holiday chalets, friendly cafés, and easy walking trails linking to Gwithian and Godrevy. As a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, it’s rich in wildlife and wildflowers, offering a true blend of coastal beauty, convenience, and heritage.
Embrace the Coastal Living Dream
​Riviere Towans are a charming reminder of Cornwall’s coastal holiday history. With horse drawn huts first built in the late 1800s, these simple wooden retreats were designed for relaxed, family-friendly getaways by the sea. Many retain their original character, offering cosy accommodation nestled among the sand dunes with stunning views over St Ives Bay. Their low-impact design blends perfectly with the natural surroundings, making them a peaceful and nostalgic choice for holidaymakers. Today, the mix of houses and chalets continue to offer an authentic and much-loved Cornish coastal experience.
