About this beach
Perran Sands is a large resort beach with cliffs encompassing it to the north and south. Perran Sands and Perranporth are connected forming a very large beach at low tide. At the top of the cliffs there is a holiday park. The bulk of the visitors to the beach are based at the southern end as it is near the main access point to the beach from the holiday park.
