Woodwind Retreat, Our Cornish Escape

01/10/2026

Perranporth is a popular seaside town on Cornwall’s north coast, famous for its huge sandy beach, dunes and spectacular Atlantic views.

A few highlights:

* 🏖️ Perranporth Beach – a long, wide beach with plenty of space.
* 🏄 Surfing – one of Cornwall’s well-known surfing beaches.
* 🏰 St Piran’s Oratory – linked to the legend of St Piran, Cornwall’s patron saint.
* 🚶 South West Coast Path – lovely walks around the cliffs and coastline.
* 🍦 Lots of cafés, ice cream shops and places to eat in the town.
* 🌅 The beach is particularly beautiful around sunset.

The sun was shinning and the tide was out, simply beautiful.

It is very touristy but we managed to get a bargain afternoon tea. A scone, cream and jam with a great coffee for £8.50 for both of us. Scone was warm and was huge.

We found the towns - Green parrot pub - a Wetherspoon pub with a great outside area. Bonus they had a classic car show in the car park.

Would I recommend Perranporth - yes definitely for a day trip. It’s only a 45 minute drive from our retreat.

Nothing like a walk along the beach and oh my goodness is this beach huge. It’s the only place that I have seen black swans on the water.

The fun you can have with bubbles.

The feather wishing tree must be a local tradition but we’ve walked past it for five years and the tradition continues.

We had a lovely day at the Vintage vehicle show and Par Carnival.

The carnival brought back lovely memories of my childhood taking part and later on as a teenager still taking part every year.
