Perran Sands has lots to do for all the family, but a key feature of this Park has to be the direct Beach access, via a path with steps, leading you straight to the golden sands. Pushchair access is also available down a steep path. With its long stretches of sandy beach, this is ideal for family strolls, kids playing and for parents to relax. Also being one of Cornwall’s top surfing beaches, it's great for keen surfers, expert or novice, to practice catching some waves!
Penhale Sands sits behind Perran Sands and together with Perranporth Beach forms a three mile stretch of golden sandy beach with good surfing conditions. Other popular beach activities here include swimming, snorkelling, fishing and sea canoeing (hire is available). Zoning is in place for watersports.
Pleasant walks can be taken through the dune system above the beach to St. Piran's Cross and ruins of St. Piran's Oratory. The beach is part of the Southwest Coastal path. With all the fun of the Park and the golden sandy beach, Perran Sands is hard to resist.
