About

Hayle is a coastal town situated on the western edge of St Ives Bay. Its estuary forms a significant natural harbour, historically central to its development. The area includes expansive sandy beaches like Hayle Towans, which stretch for miles towards the mouth of the estuary.

The town's industrial heritage is evident in its historic port infrastructure and the remains of the Cornish Copper Company. A notable feature is the complex of listed sluices and channels designed to manage the tidal flow and prevent the harbour from silting.
