Perranporth

Tin mining was once the raison d’etre of Perranporth but now it is more famous for surfing and sand yachting. Relaxation is the principal activity here and with miles upon miles of sand to play on, it’s not difficult to unwind in Perranporth. Away from the beach, Perranporth has a lively music scene with bands performing every weekend at the Watering Hole, a popular pub, and an annual celebration of folk music, the Lowender Perran Festival each autumn.
