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.

Summary:
An excellent seaside holiday for all the family.
