  • Penhale Sands is part of a Special Area of Conservation that joins up with Perran Sands and Perranporth beach to form a stunning, three mile stretch of golden sand. Backed by dunes that house the ruins of St Piran’s oratory, the beach is easily accessed and very popular with surfers.

    Fantastic beach for dogs, surfers or just walking. Great cliff walk too.
