wonderful sandy beaches and dunes.
It has a main line railway station and local sites of
interest are Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary, Hayle Towans (a natural grassy duneland
with a variety of unusual flora and fauna) and the Hayle Estuary.
A dog ban is in place on Hayle Towans beach ( from Hayle River to
Black Cliffs) between Easter and October.
