Holiday at Perran Springs Holiday Park and visit Perranporth. Our nearest beach, at just
over 2 miles away from Perran Springs Holiday Park. At low tide the golden sands of
Perranporth beach stretch for 3 miles and not surprisingly, is very popular with families.
Lifeguards operate Perranporth beach during the long summer days, with bathing and surfing
areas clearly marked with flags. Chapel Rock is a small outcrop on Perranporth beach,
and has a small pool built into the rock itself, which is filled by the tide.
The small shopping street of Perranporth is tightly packed with shops offering a variety of
beach goods and souvenirs. The street also includes a number of cafes, restaurants, pubs,
a small supermarket and a surf hire shop, with boards and clothing.
The name ‘Perranporth’ is derived from both ‘St Piran’, the patron saint of tin miners and
‘porth’ meaning ‘landing place’.
Perranporth Golf Club stands on top of the dunes and has wonderful views over the beach
and sea. Nearby in the hamlet of Reen, there are riding stables, where you can experience
pony trekking.
In the village of Goonhavern you will find a popular pub, pottery shop and The World in
Miniature tourist attraction, all of which are within walking distance of Perran Springs
Holiday Park.
