About

Perranporth sits on Cornwall's north coast, dominated by its vast, three-mile sandy beach backed by dunes. The village centre lines a single main road running parallel to the shore, with shops and amenities serving both residents and the significant summer visitor population. The landscape is defined by the dramatic cliffs at either end of the bay and the constant presence of the Atlantic swell, which makes the beach a renowned destination for surfers throughout the year.

Inland, the area transitions to the more rural settlement of Goonhavern, located at a major crossroads on the A3075. This community functions as a local service hub with supermarkets and industrial units, contrasting with the coastal tourism focus. The surrounding parish is characterised by a patchwork of farmland and scattered villages, with the historic St Piran's Oratory, an ancient Christian chapel, now buried within the shifting sands of the Perranporth dune system.
