Latest reviews on Perranporth's beaches

Holywell Bay
10 Samantha Cruz

This beach is truly remarkable. We've been here a few times, both on our own and with the grandchildren. There are some incredible caves to explore, and the kids had a blast playing in the sand dunes and the river when the tide was out. It's a bit of a trek from the car park, but it's definitely worth it.

Crantock Beach
8 Javier Rodriguez.

This beach is truly enchanting! The river section is perfect for paddle boarding and children can have a delightful time splashing around in it. Additionally, there are numerous rock pools and caves to discover, and the sand dunes are perfect for sand boarding! However, it is important to note that the car parks fill up exceedingly fast and the river side of the beach can become quite congested.

Great Western Beach

This beach is truly amazing! Whether you're seeking relaxation or seeking some excitement, it's the ideal place to go.

Fistral beach
10 Kai Andersson

This beach is an excellent choice for dog owners as it warmly welcomes our furry friends. The vast stretch of soft sand is perfect for long walks and playtime. It's situated away from the bustling streets of Newquay, making it a peaceful spot to visit. I particularly love the shallow waters, which extend up to 100 meters during low tide. The beach offers stunning views of the rocky coastline and the Headland hotel, adding to the overall charm of the location.

Porthtowan beach
10 Evan Blake

We spent four nights in town and every evening we would take a short walk to the beach from our BnB and restaurants. It was a lively place, with people of all ages enjoying the sun, the views, and the water. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood. It was a fantastic spot and watching the sunset was simply breathtaking. Although it could get quite cool once the sun had gone down, even in summer. The beach was very clean and wide, with plenty of space for everyone to BBQ, play, relax, and walk their dogs. The water was cold and the waves could be quite rough, but we weren't planning on swimming anyway. To get even better views, you could take the small trail on the eastern side of the beach. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the beach was dog-friendly in the evenings all year round. Our Bulldog loved it as much as we did. The Blue Bar at the beach was a great spot for dinner in town and we really enjoyed it. There was a large parking lot at the beach, but it was full on the weekend. This beach in a lovely small town was really great and we loved it.
