Why you'll love Perran Sands...
Perran Sands is a beautiful place on the picture-perfect Cornish coast. Sat in one of the UK's surfing hotspots, Perranporth Beach is just steps from the park and is fantastic for a dip in the sea or some relaxation on the sand. Walk along the coastal pathway for stunning scenery and pick up an authentic Cornish pasty whilst you're there.
