Situated at the far western end of
Perranporth beach
and only becomes a beach in its own right at the
higher end of the tide.
Like
Perranporth,
it has fantastic sand quality with acres of lovely
sand dunes. It is much less busy that Perranporth
owing perhaps to it being much more difficult to
access.
It can be approached by a long walk along the beach
from Perranporth – it is a long way (3 miles) and
this is only possible at the lower end of the tide.
Most approach the beach via
Perran Sands Holiday Park,
this is immediately above Perranporth on the Newquay
road and can clearly be seen. Drive through the site
and park where indicated, it is then a comfortable
walk through the dunes. Access here is not suitable
for wheel chairs.
Both
Penhale and
Perranporth beaches are on the South West Coastal
Path and there are some wonderful walks through the
sand dunes.
Services:
Lifeguard during the summer months on the southern
side, this also includes a lost child service and
1st aid post.
Dogs: Permitted
Toilets: Near the beach
Summary:
A truly wonderful beach offering privacy amongst the
dunes and excellent surfing and bathing. This is a
large expanse of sand – always look for the
lifeguard flags and follow their instructions. The
toilets and services are in the Perran Sands Holiday
complex, this is a ‘healthy’ walk back through the
dunes.
