A small seaside resort on the north coast of Cornwall dominated by
its three mile stretch of beach backed by high sand dunes, the beach
is regarded by many as one of the best in Europe.
This little town is very popular in high season both with families
and surfers who enjoy the wide open spaces that this beach has to
offer.
The town is quite small with most of its little shops, restaurants,
tea rooms concentrated in the main street which is just a stones
throw from the beach.
A good lifeguard service is provided during the summer months, the
lifeguards are quite high profile and bathers are well advised to
follow their instructions.
Perranporth does not have a wild night life, the nightlife is
restricted to a few nice pubs, one of which is on the beach. For
those requiring this sort of entertainment, Newquay, with all its
nightclubs is just a 10 minute drive away.
The
accommodation in Perranporth, considering its
popularity is quite limited and consists in the main of guest
houses, a few hotels and some self catering. There is a large
caravan park overlooking Perranporth at
Perran
Sands.
The Perranporth Golf Club is recommended and presents a good test of
skill amongst the sand dunes.

villages section or our Cornwall beaches section.
Summary:
An excellent seaside holiday for all the family.
