Hayle is a town, civil parish and also freight port in west Cornwall, UK. It is situated at the mouth of the Hayle River (which releases into St Ives Bay) and also is about seven miles (11 kilometres) northeast of Penzance. Hayle church was produced in 1888 from part of the currently defunct Phillack parish, with which it was later on incorporated in 1935, as well as incorporated part of St Erth in 1937. The modern-day parish shares boundaries with St Ives to the west, St Erth to the south, Gwinear and Gwithian in the eastern, as well as is bounded to the north by the Celtic Sea. Hayle's position by the sea and also its 3 miles of golden sandy beaches enabled it to create as a vacation location. Certainly, Hayle still has much vacation lodging. The dune or Towans are the favoured area for a number of vacation towns and also caravan and outdoor camping sites. The Gwithian coastline near Godrevy is picturesque and also a preferred area for water-related sporting activities including surfing, windsurfing and body-boarding.
