Facilities at St Ives Bay, Cornwall

Whether you’re coming for a romantic couple’s getaway or taking the whole family, there’s something to make every trip special at St Ives Bay Holiday Park.

The outdoor eating area of our restaurant at St Ives Bay Holiday Park, with views of the sea.

Facilities at St Ives Bay

We’re perched right on the shore-front, with access to a 3-mile stretch of sandy beach that’s completely private, making it the perfect place to soak up the sun and go for a dip. You can also dive into our large indoor pool or take your kids for a paddle in the children’s pool – there’s plenty of choice at our holiday park!

When you’re not in the water, spend your time at one of our many activity spots. You can have a laugh with your little ones at crazy golf, ride the waves at our surf school, and enjoy the thrill of the arcade games before finding the swings and slides at our play park. End your day with a drink at one of our on-site bars and enjoy the nightly entertainment.

Or, take your family out for a meal at the Sands Bistro, where our chefs prepare fresh meals using local ingredients, and you can catch a gorgeous sunset over the sea.

Opening times for our facilities may vary depending on the time of year. Please check our seasonal opening times page for more information.
