    Probably the best UK beach
    Very busy, but beautiful.
    Lots of nice soft sand, facilities for drinks and food. Parking could be troublesome in summer months! First time, but not the last!!!

    The scenery is the best I've seen on any walk.
    Low to Medium difficulty walk with some 'edges' that might bother people who don't like heights. Some of these can be avoided. Absolutely worth the effort! Allow over 2 hours if you're not a gym bunny or maybe 1 hour if you are. There is a tap to fill water bottles at the YHA at the Perranporth end. Quite a few benches for rests. Good picnic spots. No toilets anywhere en route for those 1 or 2 hours. Don't miss the Driftwood Spars if in St Agnes or have a posh lunch in Bistro no.4 if in Perranporth. 4 or so Nice campsites on those cliffs too! It's nice camping 3 minutes walk from a beautiful sunset every night.

    Tucked away but amazingly interesting
    Down a side road towards The Dunes, but a hidden gem. Well worth av visit to understand the mining, the old railway and see lots of artefacts.

    Simply a must
    Our second home, the best pizza in Cornwall by a mile and my favourite beers. Great selection, good vibes, cozy environment, dog friendly. Couldn’t recommend more, probably why we hang around Perranporth so much

    Interesting
    Not an easy place to find but a wonderful walk through the extensive sandunes. Not a lot there to see but interesting to read the history on a board there.

    Superb break away
    Booked this last year as wanted to experience Cornwall, caravan park staff very friendly and helpful, we arrived much earlier than anticipated, due to lovely weather and wanting a day in the beach, staff allowed us to park by the van and called us when it was ready. Caravan was basic, but had all amenities needed for a week here, and you get what you pay for!
    Beds were comfortable, privacy was fine, noise level was very peaceful and relaxing,
    Wasn’t expecting a veranda-but we had one too!
    Walking down to the beautiful beach was approx: 20mins, tricky getting back as uphill-but we enjoyed counting our steps.
    View from our caravan was amazing-it brought a big happy smile to my face every morning.
    Fortunate enough to have had the weather too-overall a great week here.

    Awesome Horse riding experience
    I did two rides - a one hour ride in the countryside and a two hour beach ride. The horses are lovely and the instructors very friendly and professional. My son, 14, and I were very well looked after. The beach ride was awesome- the such a stunning beach! I would love to return.

    Seville Family Holiday
    The accommodation was first class and very warm, plenty of room and full central heated which was ideal for February.The staff at the club we’re very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. As i was staying there with my two young children it was good to know that the staff were at hand if required.
    We had three weeks there and enjoyed our stay very much so. We will be coming back to Cornwall over the next few years and will definitely be booking here again, especially as the club are adding new lodges and replacing all the caravans too.
    We could not use the clubhouse due to the refurbishment ongoing but will certainly do so on our return. Thank you to all who made our stay so easy and look forward to seeing you all soon.

    Great location right on the beach
    What a great spot - a bar right on the beach. Have had a drink there several times over the years. Lovely sitting outside in the sun watching the world go by. Dogs welcome.

    Amazing !!
    Post Covid visit
    We had such an amazing time, the instructor was very patient and encouraging, husband really enjoyed the experience and was very good but I was rubbish and very nervous so the instructor took me around the track as a passenger, both instructors had great banter and the hovercraft owner was always checking we were ok and enjoying our experience.
    We would definitely recommend 😁

    Gluten free waffle cone!
    A special shout out to this one as they had gluten-free waffle cones! I don’t think I’ve ever had one before, so was delighted. Great big dollop of chocolate ice-cream, too. They had a few interesting flavours, but I was stoked at getting the waffle cone! Don't be put off by the slightly old look of the outside.
