Holidays in Perranporth

Located on the North coast of Cornwall, Perranporth is famous for its three miles of golden sands and growing list of epic eateries, many of which are dog friendly. This seaside town is the perfect holiday destination for families, surfers, and couples alike.

Situated on the North coast between Newquay and St Agnes, Perranporth is popular for its big sandy beach that nestles into the rugged coastline and attracts surfers from all over the UK. Spend your days relaxing on the beach, let the kids run free across the sands, enjoy a picnic in the dunes, learn to surf with the local surf school, or walk the stunning coastal path - there is so much to see and do in Perranporth you might need to visit more than once!

Your holiday doesn’t end when you leave the sand either, as a host of fantastic pubs, restaurants, and cafés keep the fun going and ensure you’re never far from a fantastic feast with a view. The social calendar at Perranporth is one of the town’s crowning achievements too, with one of Cornwall’s top festivals, Tunes in the Dunes, turning the golden sand into the country’s most unique dance floor.

Top tip

Head to The Watering Hole for a post-surf drink!

Beaches in Perranporth

Whether you want to catch some waves, bask in the sun, or explore some rock pools, there’s a beach in and around Perranporth for you.

Perranporth beach – Famed for its consistent surf, Perranporth is a mecca for beach holidays. Three miles long and with plenty of access to the coastal paths and nearby restaurants, it’s perfect for every kind of beach day. Oh, and there’s a bar right there on the beach!

Holywell Bay – A little ways up the coast from Perranporth, Holywell Bay is known for its expansive sand dunes and iconic twin stacks, which can be seen in the BBC’s iconic series, Poldark. You’ll find a surf school here and lifeguards in the summer months, so this beach is great for those looking to dip their toes into watersports.

Trevaunance Cove – In the other direction, Trevaunance Cove in St Agnes makes for a lovely beach day, with its historical surrounding coastline and fascinating rock pools at low tide. Spend your days relaxing on the stretching sands and your evenings in the nearby pub, which welcomes dogs just like the beach.

Things to do in Perranporth

Boasting a whole host of vibrant shops dotted around Perranporth, it’s easy to indulge in a spot of retail therapy. Head over to Atlantic Blankets for some beautiful Cornish throws that look as good as they feel, Brocante for some utterly unique homeware, or Bathsheba Surf for all your surfing essentials, from boards to wetsuits to easy-going attire. For those wanting to stock their cupboards with a clear conscience, All You Can Eco is a superb refill store full of all your everyday essentials.

Surfing & Watersports

Known for the Atlantic swells providing consistently good surf throughout the year, Perranporth is very popular with locals and visitors alike when it comes to enjoying the waves. There’s also plenty of shoreline to ensure there’s space for swimmers and surfers, beginners and pros. If it’s your first foray into the world of surfing, there are several surf schools at Perranporth that can show you the ropes, including Perranporth Surf School, Stoked Surf School, Peg Surf Coaching, and one that’s run from the beach (just look for the gazebo).  

Walks

When it comes to walking around Perranporth, there are many footpaths and routes to choose from, whether you want refreshing sea air or countryside rambles. Heading north-west on the coast path will take you to the likes of Trevellas Porth, St Agnes, and Porthtowan, while north-east will set you towards Holywell, Crantock and Newquay, where plenty of bars, restaurants, and beaches await. You can also head inland and walk to Callestick Farm or Healeys Cyder Farm, where you can enjoy some proper Cornish ice cream and cider respectively.

Attractions

Got a sweet tooth? A trip to one of Cornwall’s best ice cream makers is a must. Made using the original family recipe, you can taste your way through incredible moreish flavours from Callestic Farm or settle down for a hunger-crushing brekkie. Another foodie draw in the area is the lip-smacking Healeys Cyder Farm. With guided tours, a petting zoo, and tractor rides, this Cornish farm is fun for the whole family.

Dining out in Perranporth

Whether you want a light bite or a mighty feast, there’s an epic eatery for every occasion in Perranporth.

The Watering Hole

The UK’s only bar on a beach, The Watering Hole really does shine when it comes to location. Stop by for a pint after a day hitting the waves or settle yourself down for a filling feed on the likes of breakfast baps and burgers. Alongside food and drink, The Watering Hole is also one of the top music venues in Cornwall, playing host to an incredible array of artists throughout the year.

Summer House

Another foodie destination with unbeatable sea views, Summer House is as close to the beach as you can get while remaining sand-free. Try one of their refreshing cocktails as the sun sets or dive into the menu, which features fresh seafood and a fantastic choice of vegan and veggie options.

Alcatraz

Perranporth really does enjoy its fair share of beach bars and cafés – and then some! Alcatraz is a particularly interesting addition to the culinary portfolio as it sits inside a converted WWII gun shelter. On the menu of this quirky café, you’ll find a whistle-wetting list of wines, beers, and cocktails alongside a tempting selection of coffee, cakes and toasties. Just the ticket for a lazy morning or sun-soaked eve.

Dog-friendly Perranporth

With walks galore and plenty of dog-friendly pubs and restaurants, Perranporth is just as enticing for those on four legs as it is for those on two. The Watering Hole, The Tywarnhayle, and No.4 Breakfast and Bistro all welcome muddy paws as well as boots, with plenty of other dog-friendly places to eat in the town. Perranporth beach is dog-friendly all year round (although leads must be used in July and August), as are the beaches of Penhale Sands, Holywell Bay, Porth Joke, and Trevaunance Cove – perfect!

Great location and great little house Really enjoyed our stay

Fabulous location

We enjoyed a beautiful 2 week stay at 14 sand bay-Joy. We received a lovely welcome hamper on our arrival which was a lovely touch. We received our keys earlier than expected and the apartment was spotlessly clean on our arrival. We appreciated the crisp white linen with a linen change half way through our stay. Overall, it is a lovely holiday apartment in a stunning location with everything you would need for a self catering holiday. I would highly reccomend, we will certainly be booking again.

Excellent location spotlessly clean and a great place to stay can’t wait to go back .

It was well worth it and more

Excellent flat added bonus a washer ,perfect location near to beach ,shops, pubs , restaurants and walks along the dunes would 100%recommend

Fabulous location. Lovely home from home property.

This property is in a great location, and mostly updated (apart from bathroom). This property only allows about 15 minutes of hot water so you will need to shower quick unless you like showering with cold water. Bedrooms are a good size and the living room is nice too. Would also recommend taking your own towels as the ones provided aren’t in the best condition. If the problems in the bathroom/cleaning got fixed this would be a lovely place to stay. (There is also no hose in bath to wash kids down only a shower head from the top).
