Introducing St Agnes & Perranporth
The secluded beaches and reliable swells around the coastal towns of St Agnes and Porthtowan are popular with surfers and holidaymakers alike. The tiny National Trust cove of Chapel Porth, tucked away at the bottom of a beautiful river valley, is a particularly fine spot; a dramatic coast path travels along the clifftops to the abandoned mine at Wheal Coates and breathtaking views at Tubby's Head.

North of St Agnes is the busy beach town of Perranporth, packed to bursting with scarlet-faced holidaymakers in summer and all but deserted in the winter months. The beach at Perranporth (sometimes referred to as Perran Sands) is one of the north coast's finest stretches of sand, and is popular with surfers, kiteboarders and swimmers alike, especially during the summer months
