Local shop
There is a Mini Market run by Haven which can be found to the left of the entrance as you leave the site by the main entrance, nearly opposite the entrance to the Haven site. They sell everything you may need, including Cornish cream teas and pasties.
Haven Holiday Park
Day passes can be purchased from Haven for use of their pool, play areas and evening entertainment, although availability will fluctuate during peak season.
Cooks Fish and Chip Shop
Just within the Haven Holiday Park, where we have had some nice fish and chips.
Bluff Inn
At the edge of the park above the amazing Riviere Towans' golden sandy beach overlooking St Ives Bay towards St Ives itself. Open all day serving drinks, snacks and meals. Children are welcome and a special children’s menu is provided. There is an outside play area and seating as well as games machines inside for those occasional rainy days. During peak season, there is also an outside bar.
Cove Café
Either walk left along the coastal path above the beach from the Bluff Inn or continue on from the mini market heading to the beach and you will reach the Cove Café. They serve hot/cold drinks, snacks, ice creams and other hot food. See reviews on their Trip Advisor page, Cove Cafe.
The Bucket of Blood
A fantastic local pub in Phillack, about a 10 minute walk back down the hill from the park. They serve amazing home-made food, Cornish ales and spirits. Booking is essential, particularly for Sunday lunch! Also, make sure you take a torch if walking in the evening because there are very few street lights and limited pedestrian pathways. See their website The Bucket of Blood
More Local Area Information
Situated on the Southwest Coastal Path, along which there are some stunning views and lovely places to stop and take a rest, the beaches stretch for approximately 3 miles from Hayle Towans to Godrevy Cove, from which you have a great view of the Godrevy Lighthouse.
The beaches are pristine with lifeguard stations manned throughout the peak season. Once the tide is out tidal pools are left behind perfect for paddling, as well as rock pools great for hunting crabs and other creatures.
For water sport lovers, there is plenty of surfing and body boarding to be had. Also, in designated areas, kite surfing and wind surfing are allowed.
