Phillack (Cornish: Eglosheyl)[1] is a village (and formerly a parish) now in the parish of Hayle, in west Cornwall, England. It is about one mile (1.6 km) northeast of Hayle and half-a-mile (0.8 km) inland from St Ives Bay on Cornwall's Atlantic Ocean coast.[2] The village is separated from the sea by a range of high sand dunes known as The Towans.
