Long golden, sandy beach backed by dunes.

Perran Sands, together with Penhale Sands and Perranporth Beach form a three mile stretch of golden sands. A large complex of sand dunes back the beaches and are fun to explore. Located in the dunes are the historic sites of St Pirans Cross and St Pirans Oratory. The beaches are popular with surfers and zoning is in place for water sports. Lifeguards are on duty between May and October.
