Self-catering holidays in Perranporth
Explore picturesque countryside, rugged sand dunes and three miles of golden sand.
Your classic seaside town, with double the sweep of golden sand and an extra scattering of unique shops and eateries. Perranporth is unique in landscape and atmosphere, inviting families, walkers, and adventurers of all ages to explore its terrain. Its wild cliffs and countryside inspired Winston Graham to write the Poldark novels, and it's easy to see why.
Hike atop vast hills, hear giggles echo in secret caves or nestle amongst silky dunes, feeling the soft embrace of the sun-warmed sand. At low tide, wild swim in Perranporth's natural open air pool, its waters reaching Mediterranean temperatures in the summer months. At sunset, sip a glass of Chardonnay at The Watering Hole, the UK's only restaurant and bar on a beach, which hosts live music, comedy and beach activities all year round.
From colourful streets dotted with alternative boutiques to a golf club on the green cliff tops, it is easy to while away hour after happy hour in this bubbly coastal town. Yet its central position on the North Cornwall coast makes Perranporth the perfect base for heading further afield, too. A short drive will take you to the surfer’s paradise of Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay. Or, head south for the heritage coastline and unspoiled bays of St Agnes.
FOOD AND DRINK
Head to one of the many takeaways in the town and tuck into fish and chips the classic way, adorned with salt, vinegar and mushy peas and topped off with a sunset view.
CAN I BRING MY DOG?
Dogs are welcome on Perranporth’s three mile beach which is perfect for a morning run or afternoon walk. The cliff paths to St Agnes and Holywell Bay offer miles of spectacular dog friendly walking.
ACCESSIBILITY
From the car park there is a short slope onto the beach, suitable for wheelchairs. Sand wheelchairs can also be hired. RNLI lifeguards are on duty from April - October, 10am - 6pm.
