Beach Holidays in Perranporth
Perranporth holidays are sure to involve time at the beach! Perran Beach is known for its surf and provides plenty of places to enjoy the fresh air, and even hidden caves and rolling dunes to explore. A natural seawater pool is warmed by the sun throughout summer days and makes a unique area for a dip.
The beach is monitored by lifeguards during high season and there are two areas for swimming which are well patrolled. Perran beach becomes immersed at high tide, so it is best to plan days by the sea around the tide times! Lifeguards operate on Perran beach between May and September, the waters are usually safe for bathers, although strong rip tides can be dangerous so caution is required. The nearby Watering Hole pub is perched on the beach and serves food and drinks throughout the day – it also provides live entertainment of an evening to round off your perfect day by the shore.
