Perranporth is a huge golden sandy beach loved for its surf conditions, towering sand dunes and beachside facilities. At low tide, Perranporth and Penhale join together to form a 3-mile stretch of sand, so there’s plenty of space for everyone here. Young families love the accessibility of the town-side beach, where there are rock pools to explore, streams to paddle in and cafes nearby for ice creams and pasties. Those seeking more space can wander towards Penhale and find a secluded spot in the sand or on the dunes. The sea is always peppered with surfers and body boarders, with lifeguards on duty from Easter until the end of October. For those who prefer a calmer sea swim, there’s a bathing pool, Chapel Rock, hidden amongst the rocks and revealed at low tide. Dogs are welcome on the beach throughout the year, however during the summer holidays, they must be kept on leads from 9am - 5pm. As the sun sets over the sea, visitors flock to The Watering Hole, a pub set right on the sand, for cold drinks and good food.

The archetypal north Cornish beach, Holywell Bay has a wide sweep of golden sand, great surf conditions and sprawling sand dunes. Stretching for a mile at low tide, there's loads of space for everyone, no matter what your ideal beach day looks like. Young families will love building sandcastles, exploring rockpools and playing in the shallow streams, surfers and bodyboarders will enjoy the consitent Atlantic swell and peace-seekers can find a quiet spot amongst the dunes to sit and read, dry off after sea swims or watch the sunset. There's also a magical cave to expore at low tide, filled with stalagmites. During the summer season, the National Trust-owned beach is covered by lifeguards, dogs are welcome all year round, and there's parking and facilities around a 5-minute walk away in Holywell village.
