Perranporth Beach
beachThree miles of golden Atlantic sand, backed by rolling dunes and reliably good surf — Perranporth has been a classic Cornish beach holiday destination since the railway arrived in the Victorian era. The northern end of the beach is quieter; the southern end, near the village, buzzes with surf schools and beach cafes in summer. At very low tides, the ruins of an early Christian oratory emerge from the sand.
