Sit out on your private balcony with a coffee and watch life unfold on Perranporth Beach below, knowing the soft golden sand is only a few steps from your door. This first-floor beachfront apartment is a fantastic base for families, surfing friends or coastal walkers seeking fresh air and adventure on Cornwall’s rugged north coast. Perranporth’s shops and restaurants are also close by, so there’s no need to get the car out every time you want food or groceries.
Inside, full-width windows and a sliding glass door offer wonderful sea views and fill the open-plan living area with natural light. If you’re heading out early, perch at the breakfast bar for a quick bite. If you’ve scheduled some time to recharge, gather round the large wooden dining table for sociable family meals, then stretch out on the comfortable corner sofa to watch TV. Three bedrooms offer elegant, calming sanctuaries after action-packed days, including one with a walk-in rainfall shower and a balcony with views across the town and countryside beyond. A secure surf store for boards and beach equipment, along with an outdoor shower for rinsing off sand, is shared with other guests in the development.
Wild headlands frame a natural open-air tidal pool on the beach that forms at low tide, perfect for safe swimming with children. You can also stride out on walks along the clifftop path that leads 5 miles south to Wheal Coates mine around the St Agnes heritage coastline and 8 miles north to Newquay. Away from the beach scene, Lappa Valley (7 miles) offers an entertaining family day out. Ride the miniature railway, tackle the adventure golf course and explore the woodland trails around the park.
