About

Perranporth ward encompasses the village itself and surrounding rural land along Cornwall's north coast. The area is defined by its extensive sandy beach, backed by dunes that merge into heathland known as Perran Sands. Inland, the landscape consists of scattered farms and settlements. The ward's boundary stretches to include the historic site of St Piran's Oratory, an ancient chapel now buried within the shifting dunes.

The village serves as a local service centre with shops and accommodation. The beach is a focal point for surfing and coastal walking, with the South West Coast Path running through. A notable feature is the long stretch of sand exposed at low tide, which connects to neighbouring Penhale Sands. The area's economy is closely linked to seasonal tourism, alongside traditional agriculture on the inland fringes.
