Ocean Meadow View

Set on Cornwall’s spectacular north coast, Perranporth is a much-loved seaside town with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, beautiful scenery and one of Cornwall’s most impressive beaches. Just a short distance from Ocean Meadow View, it’s the perfect place to slow down, breathe in the sea air and enjoy the very best of the Cornish coast.

Three miles of golden sand

At the heart of Perranporth is its magnificent beach – a huge sweep of golden sand backed by dunes and dramatic cliffs. Whether you want to spend the day building sandcastles with the family, relaxing with a good book, exploring rock pools or simply watching the Atlantic waves roll in, there is plenty of space to find your own favourite spot.

Perranporth is particularly well known for its surfing, with Atlantic swells making it a fantastic destination for both experienced surfers and those wanting to try something new. Local surf schools offer lessons and equipment hire, making it easy to get out on the water.

For something a little more peaceful, take a stroll along the beach at low tide, explore the dunes or head along the South West Coast Path for spectacular views across the coastline.

Something for everyone

Perranporth isn't just about the beach. The town has a friendly selection of cafés, restaurants, pubs and independent businesses, making it easy to enjoy a leisurely breakfast, a Cornish lunch or a relaxed evening meal after a day outdoors.

For a memorable experience, head down to the beach as the sun begins to set. With the Atlantic stretching out in front of you, Perranporth is a wonderful place to enjoy those long Cornish evenings.

Families will find plenty to enjoy too, from rock pools and caves to the famous Chapel Rock tidal pool. The beach and surrounding area offer opportunities for walking, swimming, surfing and exploring, whatever the weather.

Rich in Cornish history

Perranporth has strong connections with the story of St Piran, Cornwall's patron saint. According to local legend, St Piran arrived on these shores after crossing the sea from Ireland, and the remains of his ancient oratory can still be found among the dunes at nearby Perran Sands.

The area's heritage is also closely linked with Cornwall's mining and surfing history. Perranporth was home to two working mines in the 19th century, while the town also played an early role in the development of British surfing.
