Rocks n' Rollers
Situated on Cornwall's North coast, Perranporth has a splendid beach of golden sand which is 3 miles in length. In the 19th century Perranporth was a tin mining village. It is now a family resort attracting surfers, sunbathers and sand yachters. It also has a golf course and boating lake and there are fine cliff walks in the area.
The name derives from the name of the saint, St Piran, who had his oratory there in the sand dunes, known as Penhale Sands, above the beach. He is celebrated in Cornwall annually on St Piran's day, March 5th.
This is also Poldark Country and Winston Graham wrote his first Poldark novel whilst living in Perranporth.
