Out and about
Godrevy Point makes a great vantage point to see both the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse and take in the panoramic views of St Ives Bay.Tucked in next to Godrevy Point you’ll also find Mutton Cove, the winter residence of a seal colony. For optimum seal spotting come when the tide is out with a pair of trusty binoculars. If you see more than 35 you’ll have broken our personal record.
If you’re in the mood for more animal antics, you’ll be spoilt for choice at Paradise Park. Set in the lush, exotic gardens of a Victorian house, Paradise Park is home to over 140 different species of beautiful birds, playful otters, cute red pandas and a whole farmyard of furry and feathered friends.
If the weather is less than friendly Paradise Park has The Jungle Barn, an indoor play area with slides, a ball pool, special toddler zone and most importantly a café so you can sit back with a well-deserved cup of tea.
Paradise Park makes a fun-filled outing for the family, and a unique one too. There probably aren’t many other places where you can feed a miniature donkey a carrot and a penguin a fish on the same day.
Of course, you can’t talk about Hayle without mentioning Hayle Estuary aka “bird watcher’s paradise”. With different species from wigeons to whimbrels, this estuary is a world-famous pit stop for exotic and migrant birds. Sit back on the perfectly located deck of the Old Quay House pub with a pint in one hand and pair of binoculars in the other and you might even see the elusive Osprey Hawk soaring above.
