Three long miles of bright golden sand, rolling Atlantic swell and spectacular sand dunes - a holiday in Perranporth is the ultime beach break. Set on Cornwall’s rugged north coast, the seaside resort, once an old mining village, has evolved around the beach and is now home to bustling beachside cafés, seafood restaurants and cosy Cornish pubs with sea views.
Without doubt, holidays in Perranporth are all about the beach. Families flock to the soft sand for sandcastle building, rockpooling and splashing in the surf. There’s seasonal lifeguard cover, and plenty of surf schools where you can learn to catch your very first wave, plus both your holiday cottage and ice cream shops are never far away for essential supplies. With huge beach breaks and reliable swell, the beach is also really popular with experienced surfers and kite surfers.
But if you prefer your beach without the crowds, you’ll find plenty of peace too - the vast stretch of sand is so huge that you can always find a place to yourself. Walk all the way to the southern end of the beach to explore rock arches and sea stacks, weathered away by the wild Atalantic waves. Take time to stroll through the large sand dunes which flank the beach and are filled with rare and interesting species of wildlife.
The clifftop tracks and trails of the South West Coast Path run through Perranporth, offering miles of walking routes and breathtaking views. Heading west, you’ll pass old mines on your way to St Agnes, or walk eastward to beautiful Holywell Bay.
Away from the coast, there’s still plenty to see and do, including a golf course, boating lake and old WWII Spitfire Station at Perranporth Airfield. Legend has it that Cornwall’s patron saint, St Piran, washed up on Perranporth beach after he was cast out to sea from Ireland, and that his relics were buried at the Oratory of St Piran, now marked by a memorial. You can also visit Piran Round, an Iron Age hill camp and old amphitheatre. Poldark fans will simply enjoy soaking up the scenery which inspired Winston Graham to write this first novel whilst living here.
With a busy calendar of events, no matter when you choose to holiday in Perranporth, there’s always something going on. The Waterhole, a bar and music venue right on the beach, holds regular events, including the Tunes in the Dunes music festival, and October sees the annual Lowender Peran folk festival celebrating all things Celtic.
But possibly our favourite thing about a holiday in Perranporth is that you’re close to everything Cornwall has to offer. If you can drag yourselves away from Perranporth's breathtaking beach, cultural St Ives, surf-mecca Newquay and the sailing mecca of Falmouth on the south coast are all an easy drive.
Treat yourself to sandy toes and fresh sea-salty air when you book a holiday in Perranporth.
There is one designated car space in the shared parking area about 10 yards away accessed by an archway of 7ft 4in high and a narrow private road (6ft 8in at its narrowest).

Perranporth Beach
(Less than a mile)
(3)
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.

Holywell Bay Beach
(4 miles)
(1)
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.
Lovely walk to this beautiful bay. Surf board and wetsuit hire available. As a swimmer the waves were exhilarating without there being too many bodyboarders to swim safely as in some other bays. 10min walk to toilet.

Trevaunance Cove
(4 miles)
Polly Joke Beach
(4 miles)
Sheltered by Pentire Point and sandwiched between the busier beaches of Holywell Bay and Crantock beach, Porth Joke - or Polly Joke to locals - is a stunning, secluded cove. Totally unspoilt, there's a narrow sweep of fine sand and beautiful clear waters. A 15-minute walk from the nearest car park at West Pentire or Cubert Common, it's worth the effort for the peace and serenity. Like its neighbours, Polly Joke is great for swimming, bodyboarding and surfing, but beware that there's no lifeguard cover, nor facilities, so make sure to pack a picnic. At low tide, rockpools and caves are revealed, which are great fun to explore, while during the late spring and early summer, the surrounding headlands bloom with wildflowers. Porth Joke allows dogs throughout the year.
Crantock Beach
(5 miles)
(4)
Crantock beach is a beautiful expanse of soft golden sand backed by grassy dunes on the western shore of the Gannel estuary. Owned and tended to by the National Trust, there's a car park, toilets and cafe nearby, making this a popular spot for families. Not only great for sandcastle-building and sunbathing, Crantock is popular for surfing and bodyboarding, with boards and canoes available to hire from the beach, and lifeguard cover throughout the summer season. On calm days, the turquoise seas are also well worth exploring armed with snorkel and flippers. The South West Coast Path backs the beach, leading to the famous poppy fields of Pentire Point and the secluded Polly Joke cove. Crantock is also dog-friendly all year round.
