Perran Sands Beach is a stunning stretch of golden sand located on the North Cornish coast, making it one of the most picturesque beaches in the region. It’s an ideal destination for a variety of activities, from sunbathing and beachcombing to more adventurous pursuits like surfing, bodyboarding, and kite surfing, thanks to the consistent waves and wide-open space. The beach is backed by impressive sand dunes, which offer a sense of seclusion and make for scenic walks with breathtaking views over the Atlantic Ocean.
Access to the beach is relatively easy from the nearby Perran Sands Holiday Park, although the path can be steep in places. During low tide, the beach seems to stretch endlessly, providing ample room for families, dog walkers, and those looking to escape the crowds.

While facilities directly on the beach are limited, the nearby holiday park and village of Perranporth offer shops, cafés, and restaurants. Overall, Perran Sands Beach is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience Cornwall’s natural beauty, whether you’re seeking adventure or...
